The Phrase "Home, James," is a cliche supposedly born circa 1840. It is a widely understood phrase used by a passenger to his or her driver, telling the driver to take him or her home.
Queen Victoria of Britain reigned from 1837 until 1901. She would be driven about, when not using a train, by horse drawn carriage as was the convention at the time. There would have been a number of coach drivers available to her, depending on the location and the carriage being used. One of them towards the end of the 1800s was named James.
His name was James Darling, and little is known of him except his name and position. It was the convention of the time for an upper class person to address a driver by his surname, but this would have left the Queen saying “home, Darling.” The Queen naturally decided to use his first name to save embarrassment, and a phrase was born.
Home, James, and don't spare the horses

A "Home Bum" is a common term for a homeless person who, instead of travelling or working towards improving his situation (as a Hobo would), typically sits in the same places every day and has a predictable routine. Another common term to define "Home Bum" is also "Homeguard", which is used to describe someone who bogarts the resources provided by a city for it's homeless population.
That Home Bum is always at the soup kitchen on Sundays.
That's Old John the Home Bum's trashcan, I wouldn't take the pop bottle out of it if I were you.

I know the planter of A Wildflowers Home.
I didn't really have a home until I found A Wildflowers Home.
A Wildflowers Home is a community for untamed souls, that sounds like me.
A term of endearment for a friend or colleague. Derived from "homie" and "homes".
Hey home smoke, it's been a long time! Glad to see you again!
The best show ever made. You will get addicted and start quoting episodes incessantly. You will probably lose all your friends.
Home Movies got cancelled because you guys didn't watch it. Now I have to buy the DVDs.

When you smash somebody with a computer keyboard in a humorous fasion.
First seen on the television show, "Attack of the Show" on G4 TV.
The keys from the keyboard left an imprint on my face after I was Home Rowed.
