Mistakenly only thought to refer to Geordie lingo, but has been used by MackemsSunderland for just as long but in a slightly different context.
Imagine the most extreme possible sarcastic meaning of the phrase 'As if' and 'Of course' but with even more negation of authority, then you might touch the full extent of it's meaning.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
