Ep. 127 - Hobo

Pack your bindle and join Scott and Steve on a journey on the rails as they explore the origin and history of the word "Hobo." On our trip, you will meet characters like Clark Gable, Barry Popik, and Connecticut Slim. Plus learn about hobo culture and terminology, including the hobo code, the hobo union (National Tourist Union #63), and a hobo's delight. In addition, learn what happens when a Mormon cowboy hears the whorehouse bells start to ring, and the reason why hobos hate clowns.   And, most importantly, you will learn if the term "Hobo" is offensive.   Finally, learn about "Shipping" in New Slang, and watch as Scott and Steve play the game taking America by storm - "Are They A Dirty, Dirty Hippie?".   Speakcies Merchandise The Origin of Speakcies merch store, powered by TeePublic, is now live!
