Remember when homeless were called "bums" or "hobos"? That was much more fun.

I remember when bums weren't proud to be bums and didn't think they were entitled to your spare change. Hell, last time I was in the northern bay area, I had bums asking me why I wouldn't give them money when I told 'em to piss off.

Yes, and calling them "bums" also correctly implied that they were to blame for their status, whereas "homeless" implies it is the fault of society, namely Republicans.
