...any "Crud Bums" when you were a kid?

 

Crud Bums.....I don't know where we got that term, but the whole family used it, even Pops, who was mostly clueless to "hip" terms.

 

To us, a Crud Bum was a disreputable person, mostly male, maybe kind of scruffy looking...shifty....the kind of kid your parents didn't want you to be around.  A kid who cheated at marbles could be one. It could be an adult, too......just some guy walking along the street might be dubbed "Crud Bum".

 

Eddie Haskell comes to mind, but he was pretty slick looking.  Pig Pen, in Peanuts, was kinda close, but he wasn't disreputable.  Kramer?  Naw, he was goofy, but not a Crud Bum.  Maybe a guy like Jim Rockford, in more bummy clothes, would be a good example.  There were a couple kids in my 'hood who qualified.  I wonder what ever happened to 'em?
