First recorded in 1875–80, “stupa” is from the Sanskrit word स्तूप (stūpa) for heap.

As to shtup, Mel Brooks might tell you the Yiddish origin but it means , uh, engaging in relations.

So we might ask if there is any record of who got shtupped at the stupa.

From that last paragraph, seems that somebody’s uncle runs a tourist agency in Donakonda.

Interestingly, there’s a Christian cemetery there. Perhaps St. Thomas wandered through, stupaing here, stupaing there, saving a few souls along the way.
