Also gesumph or gesumpf, said to have come into the British property business from the second-hand car trade in the 1970s. originally means to swindle, cheat or steal, now means to outbid (peculiar to the English and Welsh housing market). Ultimately derived from a German word meaning to put into a swamp or, in the modern idiom, to dump in the shit. first recorded in English in 1928

The term used when one has been waiting a while to use the toilet for a shit, but when he/she goes to the toilet, there is already someone using it, usually having a shit.
The word gazumped comes from the real estate and property market.
Ross- I've been waiting all morning to take a mega poo and when i got to the toilet, there was already someone there taking a shit!
Yash- Oh man! You've been Dump Gazumped!
(v.) (electronic gazumping) The act of sneakily outbidding someone on a timed internet auction. To e-gazump on e-bay, it is advised you wait until there is a mere 60 seconds left to bid (Refresh the page with the F5 button until you see the clock hit under 1 min) then place your bid. You should still have 10-20 seconds left when finished, which is usually not enough time for any other bidders to gazump you, since it is a timed auction.
Motherfucker! I got e-gazumped for a toilet seat that John Lennon used in 1978. The guy who wanted also placed a bid for the jar of Tom Cruise's snot and a SNES. I think I'll push the bidding up on those and spam his email addy.

When your day is going so badly even the small things go wrong, like you can't even win an eBay auction for a used Breville sandwich toaster your luck runs so bad.
I Hump Day never fails to disspoint. Today it is another day of incessant party wall banging, and power tool usage from next door, AND I've been gazumped on a Breville at the 11th hour 🤦 ♀️
