What is "bumpkiss"?

"Bumpkiss." Nada. Zip and zilch. It's another way of saying "nothing."

Originally "Bumpkiss" was spelled "bupkis" and pronounced without the M. Over time, people misinterpreted what was said and it somehow became "Bumpkiss". The word "Bumpkiss" has only been around for maybe 20-25 years, where as "Bupkis" originally a southern slang term meaning 'nothing', has been around for well over 100 years. They both now mean the same thing 'Nothing'.

And there is your bit of useless trivia from me for the day... why? Cause I am board! :P LOL

I've NEVER heard of "bupkis" with an M. Not that is comes up too often, but still.

Yeah, I've always heard it "bupkis." "Bumpkiss" just sounds weird to me. I'm surprised to find its origins are in the south. I thought it was a Hebrew thing. At least, it seems like most of the times I have heard it, it was coming from some old Jewish guy in a TV show or movie.

Surprising there aren't any Resident Evil minis out there!

HUH!? This is quite a spectacular game series. Part 4 blows my mind every time I play still. The movies.....eh not so much. I would rather not go into detail....

Thanks GI! I am just a terrible speller with a horrible grasp of my own language. I like your story better.

I guess I really do learn something new every day.
