Old American hobo slang, derogatory for a fellow hobo of really bad character.
The word "bum" is old hobo jargon for a hobo who don't do any honest work for his food and shelter, and as a such is poisoning the towns and communities for hobos with well intention.
"crumbs" is hobo slang for lice, which is something you for obvious reasons don't want to catch, especially if you are a hobo with enough concerns already in regards to everyday survival.
When the two traits are combined you get a character you certainly don't want to be a travel companion with, A person who will leech off your efforts and only give you a head-lice infection in return.

Common Russian curse word, roughly translates to "bitch,"
It doesn't translate to "sow" as some might think.
often followed by the word "blyat" forming "cuka blyat" meaning "bitch whore" or "bitch fuck"
it is often used in a manner similar to the English word "fuck"
Often spelled "cyka" to mimic its spelling in the Cyrillic script.
Despite being used frequently by native speakers it should be handled with care by those new to the Russian language.
Especially among convicts (zék) in a Russian prison or penal-colony, where it can also mean a "snitch" or "collaborator" and can therefor get you, and those around you, into serious mortal danger if used wrongfully.
partly overlapping with the use of the word "bitch" in English speaking prison terminology, with the difference being how the unlucky prisoner gets appointed to this lowly status (through snitching and collaboration with the guards), as well as the severity of the reprisals from other prisoners. A "cuka" is often killed off by the other convicts.
Russian convicts fought a war against those among them they considered "cuka" look up the "cuka wars"

French slang for a wine of horrible quality.
The slang is believed to origin from the brand name of a horrible wine that soldiers drank only to get drunk in the early 1900's.
Outside France a wine is actually sold by the brand Pinard.

The French tourist was amused to see a wine labeled Pinard at our shelve, because in his home country Pinard means s**t wine.

Ask is a computer-virus like search engine that you sometimes have the misfortune to get when you download some legal free program. It replaces Google or what other search engine you might be running at all aspects on your internet browser, searchnu.com can have the same equal annoying tendency.
If you are not a neard at computers, You will probably need to use some time to go back to your original configuration only to find a new annoying search engine kicking out Google next time you have installed a free program.

1:
Baureihe 80 a particular type of compact German steam powered shunting locomotives build for the Reichsbahn.
2:
The model of same locomotive.
Due to being cheap to make as a miniature this locomotive was often featured as a model train in starter kits and in the kind of model railroad kits you would often sell to kids around Europe, hence many grown up European enthusiasts often had a BR 80 as the first locomotive in their collection. And an equal amount probably lost their interest in model railroad due to the sometimes rugged quality of these models and the fact that they usually featured in the most stingy equipped starter kits together with only a couple of wagons, no switches and only with enough track to make a boring loop.
3:
Being in an early and/or less glamorous stage of something or having beginners equipment.

BR 80 was a common middle heavy steam shunting locomotive in Germany for many years.
I remember my first model train, it was a BR 80 by Lima with a green passenger car, it was a horrible train. But I still keep it.
I know that my camera is terrible but I am at the BR 80 stage of photography.
If you want to start programming micro controllers start with the Arduino Uno it is BR 80

Humbrol is a brand of hobby and miniature paint mostly known for selling a notorious cheap but low quality thick colourful gunk, that pretends to be enamel paint in little tins at hobby-stores
This gunk has the interesting chemical ability of being able to dry within its hermetically sealed container while never fully drying when it is in the open air or painted on a model or component.
It also has a special consistency that makes it clog on and hide the details while still revealing the prime coat on flat open surfaces.
Some old model builders claim that Humbrol paint used to be of a god quality before the production got outsourced from the UK to China and that the quality improved after the production was moved back to the UK.

"You have ruined that airfix model with that Humbrol paint."
"There is a free chewing gum or similar substance in the bottom of every tin of Humbrol Enamel paint, if you stir it for 4 hours it might dissolve."

1) Maruta translates into the Japanese word for wood or logs.
2) The name of a Hentai comic
3) (commonly) Mad Scientist slang for one or more non volunteer human subjects.
Due to the mad scientists at Unit 731 and their use of the word as a secret synonym for "non volunteer human subjects"
the word will usually refer to "human subject", rather than actual "wood" when it is spoken in an non Japanese non wood related context.
Especially after the film "Men Behind the Sun" in which there is a scene explaining the meaning of "maruta" to a group of young cadets who have not done their homework.
The secret synonym of "logs" was chosen due to the fact that Unit 731 and its operations at a point was disguised as a lumber-mill, plus that most of the experiments would involve cutting up the logs and that these would be put in the stove and burned at the end to dispose of the evidence.
So if a mad scientists conducting some unofficial research asks you to bring maruta, he/she will usually be disappointed if you show up with firewood.
In popular culture:
As with many other Unit 731 related words it is also the name of a band and several songs in the heavy metal, thrash metal and Grindcore genre
4) It can be a Proper noun
