It is similar to the popular phrase, no homo, in the sense that No HoBo is a defensive-response mechanism. This means that No HoBo can clear ones own slate of any susceptible homeless-like qualities that has previously been placed on trial before your respective peers.
Adequate Times To Utilize No HoBo:
1. When you asks for money, food, or in a rare case clothing.
2. When you bother a cashier at a place of business to supply you with an item for free.
3. When you abuse the kindness of others as a means to get by in life, while barely presenting (if presenting at all) an equivalent exchange.
Caution : USE WISELY AND SPARINGLY, "NO HOBO" CANNOT SAVE YOU EVERYTIME WITH EVERYBODY.

"I'm not a vagrant... I'm a hobo. Big difference."
"Maybe you'll end up like me, a hobo with a shotgun."

1. Originally referred to poor, homeless itinerant workers in the USA. These original hobos travelled from town to town seeking temporary employment, usually along the lines of physical labour. They are traditionally associated with freighthopping (illegally riding in the carriages of freight trains). See also drifter, vagabond and okie.
2. Nowadays commonly used throughout the English-speaking world to refer to any homeless person. See also bum, tramp and beggar.

Traditional hobos are often romanticized in popular culture, for example in the books "Of Mice and Men" by John Steinbeck and "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac and in the music of Woody Guthrie.
The portrayal of modern homeless people, however, is usually much less favourable, with a widespread belief that homelessness is self-inflicted and that these "bums" should "just get jobs".

After trying the houdini last night, I thought I'd surprise my girlfriend in bed tonight by giving her the hobo.

a hobo is an itinerant worker, a career which sprang up during the depression. A hobo, unlike a bum or a tramp, is more than willing to work, but mostly for a short duration, as their main impetus is travel, the love of the journey above the actual destination. A bum is stationary, feeding off of those unfortunate enough to cross his path; a hobo merely travels from town to town, finding work when he can, but only for the sake of financing his next adventure. NEVER call a hobo a bum...they'll kick your sorry no-bo ass!
