As the previous definition mentions, it is a measurement of stench created by Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew a few years ago on Loveline.

The scale ranges from 1-100. As as benchmark, 50 hobopower is strong enough to make a person vomit. 100 hobopower is only a theoretical concept is not actually attainable (just like absolute zero temperature).

hobooker 

Hobookers fall under a number of categories but are usually classified based on their current home and/or employment. The word is derived from two overlapping roots: hobo and hooker. Based on this derivation it is quite easy to ascertain that hobookers are typically found on the streets or in alleyways and make their money in less than honorable ways. While it is possible to climb out of hobookerdom, most hobookers are quite pleased with their social status and typically remain in the field for lengthy periods, if not until retirement. While the term is often used as slang and can be demeaning it is important to remember that hobookers are people too and have rights just like the rest of us.

hobo power 

A term coined by TV and radio personality Adam Corolla.

The level of stink/stench that can be given off by a human being. The scale goes from zero (they have no scent) to 50, which according to the creator of the term 'hobo power', is theoretical. In his own words, "If you experienced 50 hobo power, you would die."
One of the people who called in to the Loveline radio show explained he takes care of a mentality retarded man. He went home one night after his shift was over, and the next worker on the shift turned the heater up in the patient's bathroom. During the night, the patient went to the toilet and deficated, but missed and got some on the heater. The poor caller had to clean up the mess the next morning, and nearly threw up. Adam Corolla pegged the hobo power of the incident at about 26 or 27, stating that if the caller had slipped in the fecal matter, it would have been boosted to over 30.
