tramps

Homeless wanderers afoot

Tramps is the plural of tramp—a person who wanders from place to place without a home or regular work.

The word carries connotations of poverty and vagrancy: Tramps slept under the bridge.

In British slang, tramp is a derogatory term for a promiscuous woman.

To tramp is to walk heavily or trudge: We tramped through the snow for hours.
