get poor

Refers to when someone who has usually been "financially comfy" encounters an unexpected downturn in da ol' budget-department, and therefore is no longer able to "live da soft life" for da time being.

I suggested that my fairly-affluent neighbor consult my local "running on a shoestring" mechanic friend for lower-priced auto parts, but he somewhat-snortingly replied, "Well, yeah --- I could do that if I didn't mind dealing with a crook." Well, naturally, I felt kinda shocked and hurt, since the low-income junkyard-owner whom we were alluding to had always "used me good" --- he and his family were smilingly friendly, often gave my rides around town, and always let me use the office-phone in his repair-shop to make local calls in the days before my folks had a telephone of our own. But then just a few weeks later when I'd gone to make a phone call at the garage, I saw that this same somewhat-snooty neighbor had indeed stopped over there to see about a cobbled-together pickup truck that my friend was selling --- oooooohhhhh, did he ever look disgusted and humiliated to be even setting foot on this "lower-class" dude's property! I felt really glad that he apparently never observed me that time, so that he wouldn’t feel even MORE embarrassed that I knew that he had in fact eventually gone to try doing business with this guy, but at the same time I did feel a slight urge to gloatingly waltz out and sarcastically giggle to my neighbor, “So --- ya actually DID come to see this ‘crook’ after all, eh??? Kinda makes ya wanna think twice from now on about trash-talking other folks like that, eh? Ya never know when ya might ‘get poor’ and hafta go see them after all, eh??"

The Poormans Zoo

A store that sells domesticated animals, where low income patrons who can't afford to go to a zoo can view wildlife.

I went to look at the animals at the poormans zoo because I'm too broke to go to the real one.

old poor

A person or group that is accustomed to the life of a poor individual.

Used to differentiate between new poor and old poor.

The primary indicator is the stress level difference between the two, old poor individuals knowingly and easily change to a poor lifestyle with minimal stress understanding the sacrifices that need to be made to pay the bills and are content in the fact that they will likely be out of this state in a month or two.

A “keep your head down and keep moving” attitude associated with low finances.

In “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia,”

Mac: “They’re what’s called “new poor.” We’re old poor.”
