Five Percenter's 

It is the elite club of whipped workhorses when sales are down in your industry.

Initiation:

The staff is already too small to cut from, so corporate will take five percent of your pay to offset what they call "loss"

Technically, it's not a loss at all.

Just less profit for those already lining their pockets with your grocery money.

Considered communism.

Everyone could still win, but won't.
CEO: We've had to make a hard decision today. Sales are down. To make up for it, everyone will take a 5% cut in pay until further notice. We will do this as a whole. Everyone is important to the team. We are a company of people. People are our biggest resource. Without our people, we are nothing.

Workhorses: So we're all now five percenter's. At least we still have jobs.

CEO: Fire one person from each market.

Workhorses: What an ass.

eighty-five percenter 

An individual who always ( or almost always ) eats only eighty-five percent of what most people would eat in each meal, in order to enjoy an easier and better digestion, not feel stuffed and continue feeling somewhat light, enjoy a perfect ( thus easy ) bowel movement the next day, and stay healthy, happy, and young.
30-years ago, Bonnie told me about remembering to only eat eighty-five percent of each meal. Now I do that about ninety-seven percent of the time. That makes me an eighty-five percenter.

For those who prefer not to start a sentence with a number,

the traditional format follows

Thirty-years ago, Bonnie told me about remembering to only eat eighty-five percent of each meal. Now I do that about ninety-seven percent of the time. That makes me an eighty-five percenter.

five percent

A doctrine which emerged in 1960s as an offshoot of the Nation of Islam. The belief is that mankind began about one million years ago in the Mideast (Black people are today refered to as "Asiatic Black Man.") The doctrine holds that 85% of the people are presumed to be chumps, spending their life deluded and ripped off. 10% do the ripping off, are in the scams of entertainment, sports, politics, religion, business, etc., and live as fat cats but in sin. Only 5% have the knowledge and moral standing to be the world’s teachers. Non-black people are not excluded from the ranks of the potential righteous and the doctrine holds that one's works and life are more important than skin color.

The doctrine has lately undergone a vigorous ressurgence thanks in large part to hip-hop artists, particularly Busta Rhymes, Wu-Tang, Rakim and Big Daddy Kane. The movement now refers to itself as the “Nation of Gods and Earths.”

Despite trappings, the movement has only the most tenuous links to Islam. Most importantly, adherrants believe in several gods, that the words of prophets have been distorted beyond recognition and that the Five Percent are in themselves, Gods or at least the Gods' agents.
"I wanna big up Five Percent Nation Of Islam, Yeah!"

-- Busta Rhymes, from "New York Shit"
