English term or phrase: Punkin Chunkin
Pumpkins are useful in many ways -- as a filling for pie, a jack-o'-lantern, and, as it turns out, as a projectile. For 24 years the great pumpkin has been at the center of the World Championship Punkin Chunkin, where "backyard engineers" test the limits of pumpkin physics during a three-day festival in Bridgeville, Delaware.

Katapultiranje bundeva
Manifestacija Punkin Chunkin okuplja svake godine oko 20.000 ljudi u američkom gradu Delawareu, a sve je počelo 1986. kada se troje seoskih idiota posvađalo oko toga tko može dalje baciti bundevu.

"razbijanje tikve"


Explanation:
to chunk je razbiti u delove, raskomadati, pretvoriti u paramparčad, a na ovoj priredbi ima i lansiranja bundeva iz cevi i raznih drugih mašina i oruđa. Ipak prisutno je i u okolini Sarajeva:
"Moj poredlog utvrditi dan u mjesecu julu ili avgustu kada nam naši dragi sugrađani iz vana dolaze na G.O.i organizovati sijelo na Stojčevcu kod Ilidže, uz razni program: trčanje u vreći, razbijanje tikve i drugo, i za omladinu a i za nas starije."
