Looking at stint & stunt on the other recent thread, and came up with these possible growth-stumping methods:
Coffee
Does coffee stump your growth?
Marijuana
Does smoking marijuana stump your growth?
Exercise
Does working out stump your growtn?
Masturbation
Masturbation does not stop or stump your growth. It is a very normal part of puberty and adulthood.

Very credible eggcorn … considering that I probably made the stump/stunt substitution in my youth.

Even more instances of “stun your growth” out there too, though clearly some of them may be due to typing problems with XXXL digits. The odd ones are those in which “stunned your growth” is forced into the space left by stunt. Budding body culturists are also concerned that excessive squats might stung, stunk or shunt their growth.
