I was thinking we should have something that details homeless slang words, similar to Urban Dictionary but everything is on one page. There's probably regional and archaic words people have never heard, such as "home guard", which I've heard a few homebums out west call themselves instead of homebum. I was thinking of having it structured like Wikipedia where there's a table of contents listed by country of origin or where it's used.

okay, start a thread for it. once we compile enough information we'll turn it into a page anyone can edit. we'll sticky it to the Nomadic Culture section, i think it would fit there quite well.
