For as long as I can remember, I've heard the term "I stumped my toe." I'm not sure if it's a regional dialect sort of thing, or just something someone in my family said and it stuck. Either way, it obviously meant "I stubbed my toe." and it feels just as bad.
Simply as an experiment, try slamming your toe against something solid in the middle of the night. I'll bet any amount of money that what you call it at the time won't sound like either one.
