    “He used to hang around the old No. 1 fire department on Greene Street all the time and the firemen started calling him ‘the little bum,’” one friend told The Miami Herald in 1976. “He was always bumming things—asking for favors, like little kids do.”

      Nah, if it was made up by George Lucas, ‘Bum’ would have an unnecessary extra M at the end.
