noun

1. (humorous, slang)An umbrella.

   “It smells like rain. Perhaps we should take along a bumbershoot.”

   “Oh! Hang the bumbershoot! [Flings umbrella away, clasps Mrs. Dobbs wildly.]”

   “Little drops of water / It is safe to bet / If you have no bumbershoot, / Make you doosid wet.”

   “"It—it belongs in our family," said Button-Bright, beginning to eat and speaking between bites. "This umbrella has been in our family years, an' years, an' years. But it was tucked away up in our attic an' no one ever used it 'cause it wasn't pretty." / "Don't blame 'em much," remarked Cap'n Bill, gazing at it curiously; "it's a pretty old-lookin' bumbershoot."”
