poverty line

when ranking an individual out of 10, the poverty line separates the acceptable hookups (looked on favourably by your friendship group), from the people you should not even consider planting your seed in. If someone is above the poverty line they are objectively better than a 5/10 on the attractiveness scale.

"Fuck bro I got with this girl last night and she was below the poverty line, I feel violated".
"I fucked a guy last night, but don't worry he was above the poverty line".

Man, I love White Claws, but I'm broke. We should get some poverty claws. They are cheaper and actually taste better.

Poverty Belt

Poverty Belt is a growing term being used by people who live in the northeastern US to describe Central New York. Central New York is a geographical region of upstate New York which lies between the Catskill mountains and the Adirondacks. It is comprised of the cities Albany, Utica, Syracuse, Binghamton, Buffalo and Rochester (which is often referred to as Crotch-Chester). Common characteristics of this region which account for the sobriquet include scarcity of jobs, high unemployment, a shrinking population and a crumbling infrastructure. The "belt" part of the term comes from the way the aforementioned cities are horizontally situated close to the New York state thruway which runs from East to West through the middle part of the state.

-Where do you come from?
-I grew up in the Poverty Belt?

-Central New York.

-Syracuse a tough place to make a living.
-Why's that.
-It's situated in the Poverty Belt.
