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!
