This makes me so angry that I have to decompress by giving away food to the unhomed in Bullhead City Arizona.

"Dehomed" is almost more appropriate for many without a home. Their homes were taken by resource hoarders using the tools of state.

"Dehomed" is such a better term than "homeless" or "unhoused". First term I've heard that doesn't put the blame on the person without a home.

Even "unhoused" is too neutral of a term for how people often end up without secure shelter.

Unhoused genuinely seems like a tip toe attempt to make saying homeless less ugly or like it’s a word to sidestep bs YouTube guidelines like unalive. It’s dumb. Not having a home sucks.

If I were to pick between the two then “dehomed” explains it better than “unhoused”. But “homeless” definitely defines what it feels like when it happens to you.

Wheel of euphemisms turn turn turn…

Tell us the terms that we should learn

Moral number four! If you're poor, blame the rich.

a comedian I just saw suggested the term nomad/nomadic as a much cooler and accurate replacement for all those terms. I like it.

I think that one is only appropriate for those who choose to not have a fixed location home. Calling those who are just struggling to survive without a home nomads feels like it dismisses and even romanticizes their struggle.

I'm guessing this is illegal as well? Land of the free indeed...

Illegal might not be the right word but I guess anything that flusters the bad apples in blue is technically illegal.

Oh damn. I rode through bullhead one time. It was over 100° at midnight. Can't imagine being stuck there.
