don’t slang-ify yourself! But you have done justice to this amusing term.
I myself came to wonder about it through Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road” – that very sentence. I wonder why it took association with hobos, though. Maybe it was supposed to be a menial job for a meager sum; a post for which anybody applying would get through…hence a favorite of the hobokens. Maybe.

Peppy’s is a handy place to have there, it’s been around for quite some time, I remember it going through a brief stint as “Lola’s Diner” when it got a new owner once, it’s been through quite few owner changes too, but I’m glad it’s back to Peppy’s, it just seems to fit.
