1. 1

    Bum has two very different informal uses. In British English, it simply means your (the part you sit on) — not rude, just casual. In American English, 'a bum' means a homeless person, or someone seen as lazy and useless — this one can sound harsh about a person. There's also the phrase 'bum around,' meaning to spend time doing nothing in particular.

    (英式,口語)屁股;(美式,口語,較不禮貌)遊民、懶惰的人
