Thanks - I've edited to clarify. I originally used the word "tramp" because (from memory) that was the word Orwell used to describe himself in Down and out in Paris and London; corresponding to the meaning described at [1]. I was aware that it is considered pejorative, but not the different meaning in US English. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramp http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tramp
