bum tap

To put simply the quick tapping of another blokes arse in a non-sexual way, often used as friendship/masculinity building, the bum tap is a common trope in senior rugby normally used to congratulate a successful play, a ploy to encourage one's teammate/ get someone moving or as an introductory action to a conversation.

Successful attempts may be met with such responses as
"Good contact!"
"Solid Hit!"
"How are we boys" -(When introducing oneself)
"BOOM"
"G UP MATE"

Attempts may be as hard as the user intends however too soft of a hit may throw the tapper's sexuality into question, or create direly awkward situations.

The Golden Rule however is, Do. Not. Hold. Ever.
No matter what. Nor squeeze.
Bloke 1: "Man Dougan's such a queer kent"
Bloke 2: "Why's that?"
Bloke 1: "On the pitch he gave a bum tap, and held!"
Bloke 2: "The fuck mate, that is not alright"
Bloke 1:"Ay"

bum scene

From the 70's a lighter version of the term; "Bad Scene," meant to be much less dramatic. It would rarely be used by the person who actually had the experience. Rather, it would be a show of support from one friend to another, though it could also be an attempt to trivialize the experience.

In extreme circumstances, it could also describe an ugly experience with drugs, violence or sex.

Bummer is a shortened version of bum scene.

The word 'bum' would often be said while holding in a hit of weed followed by the word 'scene' that would be stretched out while exhaling the hit. As in: Bum (holding breath) sceeeeeene (exhaling slowly).
#1: I lost my wallet with 20 bucks in it.
#2: Bum scene, man.
#1: I was so messed up I think I left it at your girlfriend's house.
#2: Bum (holding breath) sceeeeeene (exhaling slowly).
