Smell: Hobo Power

Hobo Power is a unit coined by Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew on the radio show Loveline as a measure of how bad something smells. Some noted reference points include:

  • 0 hobo - Doesn't smell bad at all
  • 13 hobo - "A robust fart"
  • 30 hobo - The smeller must vomit.
  • 50 hobo - Carolla suggested the hypothetical: "50 hobo power is a cat that's been fed nothing but blue cheese for a week defecating on a white-hot hibachi."
  • 100 hobo - Purely theoretical (comparable to absolute zero). Near 100 hobo would cause death by asphyxiation.

A running section of The Adam Carolla Show involves callers relating foul-smelling situations for which the hosts then determine the equivalent Hobo Power.
