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.

With everyone lacking time for anything outside of work resembling an actual social life many take what’s called a powerdate. Not unsimilar to a power nap the power date takes a traditional date and compounds into one short sweet but unfulfilling chance to get to minimally spend time with someone.
hey Jess what are you doing for lunch? I’m not taking a lunch I have a brief I have to get through and fit in a ten minute power date with Paul before my scheduled panic attack at 1.
