buzzfeed has a fascinating list of 61 things matt stopera learned at the national hobo convention. here are my favorites:
"Hoboes are people who travel to work.
Tramps are people who travel and don't work.
Bums are people who don't travel and don't work."
"When a hobo dies they are said to have 'caught the Westbound.'"
"Hobo is not a derogatory word. Hoboes are VERY proud of being hoboes."
