  7. Vagrant is may sound rather vulgar in BM - bangsat.

    But don't lah use the word "bangsat" around, it's rather insulting.

    Tramp can sound rather rude too.

    Usually I will use the word "pauper" or "homeless".

    Pauper literay means - papa or papa kedana, orang miskin & etc.

    Over here in PJ/KL, the word papa kedana is usually associate to hobo.

    Other words like anjing kurap, pengemis & etc. are also used usually to scold homeless people that sleeps around outside shops, roads or blocking the way or stole stuffs from shops.

  8. vagrant - bergelandangan/bertualang/berkelana

    trampt - kutu rayau

    according to dewan bahasa & pustaka

  9. 1 orang gelandangan, petualang. 2 derap langkah, celam-celum (of marchers). 3 Inf.: wanita P, pelacur. 4 perjalanan kaki (through the woods). -kkt.,kki berjalan kaki.

    orang gelandangan, pengembara. 2 tunawisma.

    i believe the word u wanna hear is himpit himpit above,,  

  10. gelandangan..

  11. orang susah..... sob sob..
