Default Re: Bum/Tramp/Beggar/street urchin/panhandler
I would say that "street urchin" is the word that is not used a lot in everyday English. It reminds me of the movie Aladdin! Tramp used to be used in English as a word to describe a cheat or an unsavory character. Now I think it pretty much is used to describe a prostitute.
