Synonyms of "Mound" and their differences
Q:
What is the difference between mound and bump and hump ?
A:
really they mean the same thing. I suppose they are used more frequently in specific situations. a bump would be something in the road that a car drives over, or a bug bite or other skin problem would cause one. Hump isn't often used other than as a verb implying a sexual action. I have rarely heard it applied metaphorically to mean a challenge one must overcome "Once you get over the hump, it'll be easier". in the same way, sometimes Wednesday is called "hump day" because it's halfway through the work week... you've gone over the "hump" of the week.
