Etymology
Apparently a variation on UMBrella + paraCHUTE; American in origin, it has become associated with British umbrellas, but has never been a Briticism.
Would that include "Bumberchute"?
I have NO idea where "Brolly" came from!

Keep smilin'!!

I'm not sure why I find the seated pics especially attractive. The more action-oriented pics are fun too, but something about sitting works for me. Am I the only one who wonders if the bare-bummed ones are clean enough to sit on the upholstery? Great bonus pic.
