#bumf

I am still gonna keep reblogging stuff here, but for general content/shitposting, you can find me in a few places going forward:

‘Bumf’ Printed paper that is produced in huge quantities for no discernable reason, and apparently has no information value.  The junk mail we all receive on a daily basis is a prime example. It is derived from the army term ‘bum-fodder’ – paper that has only one possible practical use. It is originally from prewar schoolboy slang then appropriated by the soldiers to refer to excessive paperwork. It generally referred to the endless streams of army orders that were issued from headquarters. In the middle of one particularly savage attack on the Somme, a British orderly officer received a series of communiqués from HQ demanding to know how much tinned jam was held in stores and how many pairs of socks were required. Some things never change.
