A poorper is a person who cannot afford even the simplest things in life
like new shoes or a multi story house even after a full working life because he/she does not save
money or is in debt to a pay
day loan company (Or bought something from Brighthouse).
Short for 'poor person' it originated in North West England and has been used for quite a while, although it has not really moved away from its origins.
A poorper is usually found in the bad areas of town where people tend to live in council houses. Poorpers are usually people who refuse to actually make an effort to
work and might claim benefits illegally. They may also be found in apartment buildings and other run down areas that make good use off the crappy surrounds to make cheap apartments/flats and rent them to poorer people.
When the son/daughter grows up they continue the cycle and breed more poorpers which is known as the poorper cycle. It takes one dedicated individual to break from this cycle because they HAVE to succeed despite their possible lack of support from family members or bad upbringing.
Poorpers usually drop out of
school early before their exams and try to get a job without any experience. They may then go to a collage to study and depending on their dedication, succeed or
fail. Poorpers usually spend most of their free
time on
computer games or browsing
Facebook and despising more successful people, which is mostly everyone.
