Get the hobo mug.
A phase used to tell Hobo's you disinterest in giving them; money, cigarettes, or drugs.
Blake and Robby were walking Downtown on Main Street by Barringer Bar, a hobo asked them for a cigarette, to which Blake replied "No Hobo" and nonchalantly walked off.

Can also be used to bum cigarettes from your friends, simply ask for the cigarette and then exclaim "No Hobo".

n. An instrument generally featured in an orchestra that travels because its members do not maintain permanent addresses. Known for its many variations, this woodwind may be constructed of cardboard, cans, duct tape, soda bottles, newspaper, or any combination thereof. The key criterion is whether or not its tone is successful in separating passersby from extraneous coinage.

hobo = Home Owner Bought Out

it is the acronym for people from 'the Great Depression' who lost their homes when the banks called their loans due (as per the terms of the loan).

All legal, but totally sucks.

Has come to mean many things, mainly derogatory.
Bank: "Mr. Smith, your loan has come due and we are not able to extend you any more credit."

Mr. Smith: "What can I do? The plant closed, my kids are sick and my wife ran off with the ex-plant manager."

Bank: "That's not our problem. Leave or the Sherif will remove you."

Mr. Smith: "Well kids, it's off to the poor house for you, Daddy's a hobo now."

Kids: Boo, hoo. . . .

A hobo is someone without a house or a job. They will work, though. You most commonly hear of hobos living in boxes, but some hobos live in homeless shelters. in the old days, you hear of hobos hiding on trains. that doesn't happen very often anymore. hobos often stand outside with signs that say "need food" or "homeless anything will help".
I have $5 and i can either spend it on a tasty sandwich, or give it to that hobo. hm, i think i'll give it to that hobo.
