长释义：
The informal word chum is more common in Britain than the US, but you can still talk about your school chums or the new chum you made on a Caribbean cruise. Another kind of chum couldn’t be more different from a buddy: it’s chopped up fish parts used as bait on a fishing boat. This meaning comes from the Scottish chum, “food,” while the first definition was Oxford University slang for a roommate or “chamber fellow.”
