What does BUMBAG mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A small pouch on a belt, worn round the waist or hips to hold money and small items.
The bumbag is the British name for what American speakers call a fanny pack. It sits at the waist, usually at the front or side, and closes with a zip so that a wallet, keys or a phone stay close at hand. Travellers and festival-goers favour it because it leaves both hands free. The word is made from bum, the British term for the backside, and bag.
