on the bum 

Just relaxing, associated with homeless people with not much to do. A bit like a beach bum, hanging around in and out of bars.

I read the quote in a Jack Kerouac book, 'Piers Of The Homeless Night' 'And since I'm well and on the bum again & ain't got nothing else to do, but roam, long-faced, the real America....' and thought I'd check if there was a meaning on here but now I've read the section again I get what it means even more!
'Hey man, how's your day been?'

'well since I lost my job, I haven't had much to do. Been on the bum a lot'

Nick-nacks on the bumper

Small scratches on the car, specifically on the bumper. It’s an Uptown New York slang that I just learned.
For sure I’ll have some nick-nacks on the bumper, it’s my first car.

Fogey/fogy /fougi/ sl. (early 18C+, orig. Scot) old-fashioned, stuck-in-the mud.
Person with old fashioned ideas which he is unwilling to change: Come to the disco and stop being such an old fogey!
You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
