a hobo is an itinerant worker, a career which sprang up during the depression. A hobo, unlike a bum or a tramp, is more than willing to work, but mostly for a short duration, as their main impetus is travel, the love of the journey above the actual destination. A bum is stationary, feeding off of those unfortunate enough to cross his path; a hobo merely travels from town to town, finding work when he can, but only for the sake of financing his next adventure. NEVER call a hobo a bum...they'll kick your sorry no-bo ass!
"When I first started hobo'in,
I took a freight train to be my friend
-John Lee Hooker

It is similar to the popular phrase, no homo, in the sense that No HoBo is a defensive-response mechanism. This means that No HoBo can clear ones own slate of any susceptible homeless-like qualities that has previously been placed on trial before your respective peers.
Adequate Times To Utilize No HoBo:
1. When you asks for money, food, or in a rare case clothing.
2. When you bother a cashier at a place of business to supply you with an item for free.
3. When you abuse the kindness of others as a means to get by in life, while barely presenting (if presenting at all) an equivalent exchange.
Caution : USE WISELY AND SPARINGLY, "NO HOBO" CANNOT SAVE YOU EVERYTIME WITH EVERYBODY.
