Origin

Mid 19th century: probably from bummer.

There are two different words spelled bum. To a Brit, the bum is their bottom. The origin of this word is unknown. From the Middle Ages until around the 18th century bum in this sense was not regarded as a rude word: Shakespeare used it, and a treatise on surgery could refer to ‘[pulling] the feathers from the bums of hens or cocks’. The American bum (mid 19th century) is a tramp or vagrant. The origin of this one is known—it is probably from bummer (mid 19th century), which now chiefly means ‘a disappointing or unpleasant situation’ but in the USA first referred to a vagrant. It comes from German bummeln ‘to stroll about’.
The British slang word bumf (late 19th century), meaning ‘tedious printed material’ was originally bum fodder—it first meant ‘toilet paper’. The novelist Virginia Woolf wrote in a letter of 1912, ‘Is this letter written upon Bumf? It looks like it.’
