That's just an artifact of how English spells /dʒ/. Word finally that sound is usually spelled <dge> or <ge> as in "edge" and "gauge" and word initially it's usually spelled <j> or <g> as in "just" and "gentle". The word "judge" doesn't have two distinct consonant sounds in it. It's the same one spelled differently.s
I can't even hear the difference
Do you take trash to the dum or the dump?
I hand it to this dum-dum on the left who takes it to the dump.
dum-dumster full of hampers of hampsters heading to the dup
Yeah but the word fridge gets a D for no reason so I figure dumpster should lose a useless letter to balance it all out.

The word hamster has just as much of a P-sound as the word dumpster IMO.
Edit: Try to pronounce it without a trace of a P-sound. Can't do it! [/Bill O'Reilly]
