The term "ski bum" is still in common usage for people who spend an entire season in a ski resort, staying in the cheapest accommodation that can be found (sometimes the back of a van!), and doing odd jobs to make ends meet. -- Alex Heney, Global Villager I'm easy to please as long as I get my way.

A bit like a beach bum, I suppose. Similar thing but, well, on beaches and not ski slopes!! |

The term "ski bum" is still in common usage for people who spend an entire season in a ski resort, staying in the cheapest accommodation that can be found (sometimes the back of a van!), and doing odd jobs to make ends meet. O' course over here we got "surf bums", a latterly semi-affectionate term for folks who love to ride the ocean waves and do not invest much in much of anything else. My (English heritage) grandmother's strongest epithet was "bum", in the not-a-productive-citizen sense, and she called your situpon a "bum" in the Britspeak buttocks sense. I thought I knew "bum" was someone of no means and little motivation to acquire them by labor; "hobo" was a down-and-outer who moved from place to place in search of short-term gainful employment, and who wasn't always thrilled when he found it, all other things being equal. "Bum" is also a verb: one "bums" a cigarette, a dime for a cup of coffee, a ride to the Mission. -- Frank ess "Verbing weirds language". -Calvin |

I'd always thought that Bum Bandit was Homo' talk.... To keep on topic I actually have a Betty Boop 1930s silent cartoon. Unfortunately my son broke the 9.5mm projector about 30 years ago so it has never played since. Got about another 20 reels of various kinds including felix popeye and hopalong cassidy. Newest is space dog. A short purporting to be a record of the flight of the first animal in space the dog Laika. If anyone knows of a place that sells spares for a 9.5mm projector I'd like to know |

Or, if he has chosen to be a bum, he can bum one from a co-bum of his and lend it to you.... Sorry. |
