Having always heard "bum" used as a term for the rear in british parlance, I have wondered if "bum" has the same level of crudity (?) as "butt."

i got the impression that "bum" is a little less crude than "butt".

In Canada we also use "bum" to mean "derriere" and indeed, it's less harsh than "butt", almost a childish word, like "poo".
