boat ho

A female in the Navy, most likely below average looking but since she's outnumbered 5 to 1 by men, she gets lots of male attention and puts out to the highest bidder.

If a man asks for your phone number, and you give him a J-dial, you might be a boat ho.

Hoboat 

Noun. From "Homeless showboat", an overly eager, attention seeking street individual with no discernible place of residence. Often known to play instruments/sing, juggle poorly, and engage in intentionally shocking acts for money and/or attention. While very popular in urban areas by visiting midwestern tourists, often vilified by locals and less ambitious members of the homeless community.

"Did you see that bum? He was trying to eat like, 14 bottlecaps? Fucking Hoboat."

Hoboat 

A combination of the words "hobo" and "boat." A hoboat is a (usually) derelict watercraft, appropriated by one or more homeless person(s) for use as a domicile. They are typically not operational, or are barely operational, but still float. Among other locations, they can be found illegally anchored along the Willamette river, in Oregon.

We can't fish there anymore. The hoboats are dumping their sewage in the river, and the fish are sick.

Hoboater 

A vagrant boat dweller who is technically homeless. Usually they exploit maritime laws to avoid paying moorage fees while living on a shitty old boat. See a bunch of douchbags on the willamette river in Portland, OR

Those dirty hoboaters on the east bank esplanade really ruin the public docks in town. Of course I'm kind of jealous they've figured out a rent free existence in Portland without squatting.

Hoboating

A specific style of showboating characterized by acting in a "ho-like" or provocatively attention-seeking manner. It is the act of grandstanding with the primary goal of being lusted after or gaining "thirst-based" validation, often through "extra" behavior or social media posts.

"She spent the entire party hoboating in the kitchen, posing for 'candid' photos and making sure everyone saw her outfit from every angle instead of actually talking to anyone."
