You probably haven't thought about this, and honestly, either have I. It came up in a book, Turning Pro, by Steven Pressfield. Pressfield was picking apples in Washington State when he met Dave, a fellow picker. It was Dave who explained the differences between a tramp, a hobo, and a bum.
Dave explains, "A tramp is an itinerant worker. A hobo is an intinerant non-worker. A bum is a non-itinerant non-worker." p. 50 of Turning Pro
I thought you might like to know this.
