Noun. From "Homeless showboat", an overly eager, attention seeking street individual with no discernible place of residence. Often known to play instruments/sing, juggle poorly, and engage in intentionally shocking acts for money and/or attention. While very popular in urban areas by visiting midwestern tourists, often vilified by locals and less ambitious members of the homeless community.

A combination of the words "hobo" and "boat." A hoboat is a (usually) derelict watercraft, appropriated by one or more homeless person(s) for use as a domicile. They are typically not operational, or are barely operational, but still float. Among other locations, they can be found illegally anchored along the Willamette river, in Oregon.
