Homeless Adjacent

Describing one who is not without a home, but likes to act as if they are
ie.: •sometimes lives in the car out of choice, not obligation

•enjoys spending time at odd, anonded buildings, parks, etc

•works a job that is ordinarily accepted by society, but would rather pretend that they don’t

I love my best friend, but sometimes I have to remind her that she’s a contributing member of society with a house and husband, and a regular 9 to 5. And that even though she likes to sleep in her car and busk on the street asking people for money, she’s not actually homeless. She’s just homeless adjacent.

Bradley was talking about how El Niño always floods Los Angeles, then he immediately brought up how much of an idiot Donald Trump is. Because Trump was visiting Los Angeles at the time, Ian said that the segue was in fact topic adjacent.
