Computing Dictionary
Definition: 1. To make highly efficient, either in time or space, often at the expense of clarity. "I
managed to bum three more instructions out of that code." "I spent half the night bumming the interrupt
code." In elder days, John McCarthy (inventor of Lisp) used to compare some efficiency-obsessed hackers
among his students to "ski bums"; thus, optimisation became "program bumming", and eventually just
"bumming".
2. To squeeze out excess; to remove something in order to improve whatever it was removed from (without
changing function; this distinguishes the process from a featurectomy).
3. A small change to an algorithm, program, or hardware device to make it more efficient. "This hardware
bum makes the jump instruction faster."
Usage: now uncommon, largely superseded by v. tune (and tweak, hack), though none of these exactly
capture sense 2. All these uses are rare in Commonwealth hackish, because in the parent dialects of
English "bum" is a rude synonym for "buttocks".
