bum
bum (1)To make highly efficient, either in time or space, often atthe expense of clarity. "I managed to bum three moreinstructions out of that code." "I spent half the nightbumming the interrupt code." In elder days, John McCarthy(inventor of Lisp) used to compare some efficiency-obsessedhackers among his students to "ski bums"; thus, optimisationbecame "program bumming", and eventually just "bumming".bum (2)To squeeze out excess; to remove something in order toimprove whatever it was removed from (without changingfunction; this distinguishes the process from afeaturectomy).bum (3)A small change to an algorithm, program, or hardwaredevice to make it more efficient. "This hardware bum makesthe jump instruction faster."
Usage: now uncommon, largely superseded by v. tune (andtweak, hack), though none of these exactly capture sensebum (4)All these uses are rare in Commonwealth hackish, becausein the parent dialects of English "bum" is a rude synonym for"buttocks".Bum
BumA person unable or unwilling to work, and who therefore must beg for money. The term has a derogatory connotation, implying laziness. A large number of bums in an area may indicate economic dilapidation.BUM
