"Skid row bum" có bum là vô công rồi nghề -> cụm từ này nghĩa là người nghèo rót mùng tơi, điều kiện sống tồi tàn, thường là người nghiện rượu/ma túy.

Ví dụ
The tale (câu chuyện) of a skid row bum's unexpected and oh-so-shady rise to political prominence (nổi bật) is funny, smart, and surprisingly timeless, and Kino celebrates it with a brand new 4K remaster and solid audio.

” Ford said in an interview before the event. “At that point, the stereotype (hình mẫu) was the homeless skid-row bum was the only person that was an alcoholic, and here you had a former first lady raising her hand and saying, ‘No, this could be anybody.’ That started to lift the veil (tiết lộ, giải thích).”

Yes, an alcoholic can be a skid-row bum or a babbling (lảm nhảm) idiot in a mental institution. But one can also be a lawyer, a businesswoman, a congressperson or MK, a rabbi, a general, a housewife, anyone.
