what a person says after saying something or asking for something which made them appear to be homeless or poor
spare some change guys? no hobo

my feet are showing through my socks and shoes, no hobo

i’m cold an hungry, no hobo
it is similar to the popular phrase, no h-m-, 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.
guy: what up, man.
guy 2: nothing much, just trying to get by. if i dont make this payment on my car, its gonna get repossessed. then i won’t have a way to work and get fired and lose my house and be out on the street and probably start sucking d-ck to get money…no h-m-

guy: yea i feel you, i feel you….you think i can borrow $117, no hobo
guy 2: alright man i got you, just get it back to me before i hit the unemployment office

it’s a term mainly used after someone is acting poor-ish but isn’t really poor. asking for money when they have some.
or asking for a ride when they have a car but doesn’t want to use gas.
example 1: “hey man, think i can get a ride??, no hobo.”

example 2: “hey man u got any weed i forgot my sh-t at home so no hobo.”

example 3: “dude buy me these hot cheetos, no hobo.”
a term spun off from the popularity of the term “no h-m-” used in hip hop culture, but instead is used when promoting drinking then is tacked on at the end of a phrase to dissuade being cheap about it. it is mainly used by the common working cl-ss, often on fridays to stress that anyone invited should be in it to drink for the long haul. anyone that is on a budget or is conscious of money spent is not welcome as they are a reminder of responsibility which of course can ruin the night.

it also applies to people who are so cheap, they only come out for free alcohol, this can be seen at company open bars, or even more often at art gallery openings. these people never get along well with the common drinking crowd since they only partic-p-te when it is financially convenient. this too becomes a reminder or responsibility that real alcoholics want no part of.

the term may also refers to the leeching factor some people have. for example, if there’s 4 people drinking buying rounds for the table and the 4th person always leaves at the 3rd round. that person is cl-ssified as a hobo. “hobomaximus” can be used if he didn’t chip in for appetizers either.
ex 1. it was a stressful week, lets go down for a drink. no hobo.

ex 2. my friends are screening their short film downtown, yeah, opening is tonight, bring your friends. no hobo.

ex 3. f-ck jimmy, i told you, “no hobo!”, that motherf-cker is hobomaximus!
it is used when speaking of someone’s girlfriend to signify honorable intentions.
