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.

Shackteâu

A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
