Etymology of BUMFREEZER

The term "bumfreezer" originates from the combination of two words: "bum" and "freezer".

- Bum: In this context, "bum" refers to the backside or buttocks. It is a casual term commonly used in British English.

- Freezer: Refers to a device or appliance used for freezing or preserving food.

So, a "bumfreezer" essentially refers to a garment, typically a coat or jacket, that is cut short enough to barely cover the bum, resembling a freezer, or being "freezing" cold on the behind.

The term "bumfreezer" is primarily used in British English, and its exact origins are difficult to trace. It likely emerged as a humorous or colloquial term to describe a short jacket or coat, possibly due to its reduced length and lack of warmth in the lower back region.
