A hitchhiker makes a thumbs up sign to oncoming traffic, indicating he wants a [free lift or ride](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/long_reads/hitchhiking-manual-1980-change-best-worst-pickups-emotional-poland-a8640876.html) somewhere. He or she is a dying (resurrected?) breed, gaining most popularity in the 1970’s and 80’s when not everyone was possibly a psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est.

A hobo is more likely an oldey-worldey term where the gent (yes, he was most likely a man) might [hitch a ride](https://images.app.goo.gl/uY3k2wcxJpyMPtg46) between locations but he also would take his [swag](https://images.app.goo.gl/hWNqAjPtMzimFPDc6) and live under a bridge or in a barn. Most cultural references to a hobo are relative to america – interchangeable with a [bum](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcStW1y7XzFaI_KpdQjtka5lyQW3lZu7zLawwylkAf-pooNqz1uP) – homeless, jobless and most likely a druggie or drunk.
