Pronunciation:
fee-on-HOO-boh
noun
Usage Note:
Must be spoken with a slight air of sophistication, usually while holding a glass of wine that your partner paid for.

Definition:

A strategic upgrade from the standard "hobosexual." A fianHOBO is an individual who possesses too much pride, class, or aesthetic "main character energy" to simply sleep on someone's couch for a week. Instead, they play the long game—leveraging romance, charm, and the promise of "forever" to secure a ring and a rent-free lifestyle.

While a hobosexual is just looking for a place to crash, a fianHOBO is looking for a residence. They convince their partner to get engaged specifically to solidify their housing security, ensuring they have a beautiful home to live in without ever seeing a utility bill or a lease agreement

The Signs You’re Dating a FianHOBO:
They suggested moving in together on the third date, but "only if we’re serious about our future."

They have a Pinterest board for the wedding, but $0.00 in their savings account.

They get offended if you ask for half the rent because "it ruins the sanctity of our engagement."

Their "job search" consists primarily of nap time and SHEIN shopping for outfits with your money.
I thought Brianna was finally ready to for third base when she stated that we can't have intercourse until we are engaged, but then I realized she’s just a fianHOBO who wanted a rent-free house with a pool and a large walk-in closet.
