Larry the word bumbershoot is actually American in origin and has been mistakenly attributed to British English almost since it was created.
i've never heard of the word bumbershoot
the word bum however has a completely different meaning in uk english than it does in us english
Here Bum can mean two things depending on how you use it. If you fall on your bum you are falling on your rear, if you say that guy is a bum you are saying he is a beggar.
And what about 'bummed out' which means depressed about something?
I forgot about that one. and if you say "what a bummer" you are referring to something that causes you to feel depressed or bummed out.
Or just 'bummer' as in the 60s.....
I remember as a kid in the early 80s watching an episode of Airwolf and two women were flying airwolf being chased by a guy in another helicopter and said over the radio to them 'I'm gonna blow your fannies out of the air' now being that I am from the uk and was watching this during a saturday afternoon, this left me very confused indeed.
