Dear Word Detective: I was sleeping one night and was awakened by James Cagney (I think) in an old movie on the still-on TV, claiming that someone or some establishment had given him "the bum's rush." (I've noticed "bum's rush" seems always to be used with "the.") While I think I know what this is, what, pray tell, is the origin of this expression? -- Ed H., Youngstown, Ohio.

There's something weird going on around here. Weirder than usual, I mean. Weirder than the floor of my office tilting in a different direction every day, or the fact that the kitchen faucet keeps trying to kill me, which is a story for another time. Anyway, I was researching the answer to your question last night and decided to take a break, so I wandered downstairs and turned on the idiot box, and what should my wondering eyes behold but the last ten minutes of the classic Cagney movie "The Public Enemy." Spooky, eh? By the way, that final scene has always stumped me. Is Cagney dead, or just really, really tired?

To get "the bum's rush" is to be forcibly ejected or violently thrown out of someplace, usually a bar or restaurant. The classic scene in nearly every Western movie where a cowboy is violently tossed through the swinging doors of a saloon, coming to rest recumbent in the street outside, is a good example of "the bum's rush." The phrase "the bum's rush" is an Americanism dating back to the early 20th century, and simply means the "rush" (in the sense of "violent push") a bar bouncer or the like would use to eject an undesirable patron or "bum." The word "bum" in this sense of "vagrant or beggar" almost certainly comes from the German "Bummler," meaning "loafer." Although recipients of "the bum's rush" often land on their posteriors (if they're lucky), the slang term "bum" meaning "buttocks" is unrelated, much older (circa 1387), and of unknown origin.

I think in Bush's c ase someone meant "show your buns or naked butt." Throw the bum out or to give some one the bum's rush means to make the person leave. People used to not allow bums around or to have them removed from their property thus "the bums rush or move some one fast".

Sexy Bum is refered to in a nice way. Many people thought of bums in a good nature way due to the fact that during the depression there were so many people on the road who was not at fault. They simple did not have a job and lost everything they owned and usually their families too. They traveled the railroads ior walked all over the country seeking work for their families . Many were young men who normally would have ben working on farms or in school but the depression distroyed their lives. Very few of them were bums in the trashy sence but bums in the reality of forced eviction from their jobs, and homes. Books and stories about them from writers made them seem romantic(which was far form the truth as starvation was a closer word to describe them) to many people and lovers often refered to their hubby or lover as a bum.

1. Usually refers to homeless person or person in disreputable state
2 & 3. Both mean your rear end. Americans usually do not use this usage of the word but in Australia we use it more in this way and do not use it much to describe a homeless person

1. Hobo, homeless, usually of the bad variety...
2. Butt-out... basically nothing covering the derriere
3. Butt... and also the sentence as a whole means you're an jackass.
