That'd be a bum bag. Our bums are your asses or butts.
Our asses are donkeys, but we know what you mean as it's close enough to arse, which is the same as bum but a bit ruder.
Our butts are big barrels you collect rainwater for the garden in.
Our gardens are your backyards I think.
I believe your bums are our tramps (down and out types), while your tramps are ladies of easy virtue, who would be slags or a multitude of other unpleasant names over here.
