how bout that. it was indeed used in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang:
"Me ol' bamboo, me ol' bamboo, you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo, you can have me hat or me bumbershoot, but you'd better never bother with me ol' bamboo."
I wonder when you will get superfragilisticexpialidocious.
growing up, bumbershoot was the common form in my house. only when i started having to communicate with people outside our nuclear family did i start using the much clunkier "umbrella". our usage was never associated with the movie, though.
