Now THERE's a job:  a matzo-shtuppeller.  I guess if there are all
those slurs derived for words for the male organ (shmucks, dorks,
putzes,...), there might as well be a verbal derivation from the
corresponding verb (to shtup), although one doesn't necessarily
conceive of the relevant action as hole-making, exactly.
