described two homeless people on a trains as 'Tramps' instead of homeless people, seemed oblivious to how outdated the term is and was came across terribly snobbish, just felt the urge to mention this. Not sure her name.

Think she was one of the interviewers/interrogators on The Apprentice with the countdown host years back

There is a difference between tramps and homeless people.
So wouldn't think the term is outdated.

With the description she was given it was two homeless people, but regardless I haven't heard the term tramps in years and never heard any one on TV saying the word tramps either, just didn't like it because it came across as very stuck up like she was above them because they were down on their luck.
