Slumming

Archaic slang emerging during Prohibition, 1920-33, and used through the 1940s refering to the act of affluent people patronizing seedy establishments in urban slums for disreputable and often illegal entertainments. The term emerged when Prohibition led to speak-easies in poor neighborhood that attracted the well-off who wanted to drink. It the began generalized for any similar behavior of the priveleged seeking thrills when venturing into poor districts.

Slum Goonch is an American word and it basically means a ghetto killer fish. "Slum" means ghetto and "Goonch" is a type of killer fish. So slum Goonch means a ghetto killer fish. That is also my snapchat nickname for all my friends.😁Well the ones that aren't sick of me yet.😂
Someone on snapchat says, "What do you want your snapchat nick name to be in my phone?" I say, "slum Goonch."

Slum Tour

A tour that usually consists of very few gigs performed by a little known band living out of a van.

For example, a band starting out on a tour with little networking and money is embarking on a slum tour.
Dude that was such a slum tour, we only played 3 shows and I had to shower in a burger king bathroom.
