When I was young, they were called 'hobos'.

Nah, that’s a tramp. Hobos are willing to work, they just didn’t like to stay in one place for long.

Hobo: Homeless Bohemian. Not so different from today. Except that a lot of people that were driven from respectable society by cruel fortune were called bohemians, which they weren’t.

Bobo: Bourgeois Bohemian. Another one of my favorites.
