A "Home Bum" is a common term for a homeless person who, instead of travelling or working towards improving his situation (as a Hobo would), typically sits in the same places every day and has a predictable routine. Another common term to define "Home Bum" is also "Homeguard", which is used to describe someone who bogarts the resources provided by a city for it's homeless population.
That Home Bum is always at the soup kitchen on Sundays.
That's Old John the Home Bum's trashcan, I wouldn't take the pop bottle out of it if I were you.

a 'home bum's" need to shit, with nowhere to go, and not ambitions to burry it, they do it on the floor. These are normally found not too far from bum camps or bridge underpass.
