Definition
Something disappointing or unfortunate; a situation that makes you sad or annoyed.
Etymology
From 'bum' meaning 'vagrant' or 'unsuccessful person' combined with '-er' suffix. The slang sense developed in the 1960s American counterculture to describe bad experiences.
Kelly Says
The term 'bummer' perfectly captures how young people in the 1960s created their own language to describe their experiences—it's informal, punchy, and way more expressive than 'disappointment.'
