Best Answer

You probably are inspired by the movie "Witness", a case where a criminal is referred to by Samuel Lapp, the little boy, as "schtumpig".

Rachel Lapp, his mother, tells John Book (HarrisonFord) "On a farm, when a pig is born small like that, it's called schtumpig, a runt"

A more generalized phrase is wicht des Wurfes.
