'bum in us' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'court necking a drop of zinfandel' is the wordplay.
'court' becomes 'woo' (both can mean to romance someone).
'necking' indicates putting letters inside (neck can mean to swallow).
'drop of' indicates taking the first letters (the smallest possible amount of the word).
The initial letter of 'zinfandel' is 'z'.
'a'+'z'='az'
'woo' going around 'az' is 'WAZOO'.
