Question: Hobo HOBO !?!?!?
Can someone tell me what hobo is!?!?!?!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
"Hobos; tramps; and bums!." My father, who grew up right after the Great Depression, remembers all three groups, and told me the difference when I was little!.

Hobos were travelers looking for work, sort of like people who today hold signs saying, "Will work for place to sleep;" or "a meal," etc!.

Tramps were travelers who didn't care if they worked or not!.

Bums were bums, just as they are today!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A hobo is a street person, or a homeless person, or a "bum"!. My kids use the term sort of affectionately!. They wouldn't call somebody who looked dangerous or scary a hobo!.

By the way, you can look up the definition of *any* word on line at dictionary!.com!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
