bait and switch

This is really interesting. I had no idea that hobos had/have their own code language. It’s like a big club. “Religious talk will get you a meal here.” Ha!

Thanks, Rach!

there was a band in memphis called “man with gun lives here” and in turn that sign was spraypainted everywhere (like abandoned bldgs, grocery stores)— i worried as a kid that the work of zealous fans was really screwing with the heads of hobos.
