The Morton Street panhandler is back

By adamg on Fri, 07/29/2011 - 2:39pm

Robbie Felder, the omnipresent Mattapan panhandler whose disappearance a few months back sparked rumors he was dead, is back slowly walking up and down Morton Street, quietly asking for money.

On a Facebook page set up to discuss the man who has been a familiar sight for years as he walks from one side of Blue Hill Avenue to the other, people report he is looking better after his time in rehab. However, one person who saw him tweeted he wasn't looking too hot today.

Bumb?

WTF is a bumb? I swear to the gods that the level of grammatical abuse in the comments on that Facebook page threatens to pull E. B. White from his grave to scythe a razor-edged Elements of Style through the screaming unwashed abusers of our dear language.

C'mon Budd...

What is a "bumb"? I agree that the level of ignorance (grammatical and otherwise) in some of these Facebook posts is a bit scary, though not at all surprising.

Drum Roll Please!

A bumb is a no good bomb.
