Lasaron is the Norwegian equivalent to a hobo.
It derives from the biblical name Lazarus and is commonly used as a name for drifters.
A more modern word of "lasaron" is "lassis".
"Lasaron" is not to be confused with "boms" (
bum).
A "boms" (
bum) is ashamed of who he is going around begging for money for drugs and/or alcohol.
A "lasaron" (hobo) doesn'
t care what
people think of him/her and have somewhat pride in their lifestyle as wanderers and consider themselves "free spirits" not schakled to enslavement
like the rest of the herd.
"

"Pell deg vekk, din skitne lasaron!"
(Get the hell out of here, You dirty lasaron!)
