I won't give the answer to #9, but I will mention that your definition of it is a bit obsolete. The more common use of this T-word is as a synonym for "slut". The commonly-used words that fit your definition are "bum" and "hobo".

Thank you for teaching me the verb "to toddle"! Now I know where the word "toddler" (child between 1 and 3 years old) comes from!
