Follow Up on 'Bumpershoot'
According to Webster, it's actually 'Bumbershoot' and it's from the year 1896. Bumber is a fun form of umber in umbrella, and shoot is a variation from parachute.
I've asked a bunch of people, including my mother and a friend who always knows obscure vocab words, and no one had the faintest idea what a bumbershoot was. I guess this means that you, Jessie, and I are super smart.
