McGill's Law of Relatives

No matter whether the person knows it or not, they have a very attractive relative. This can be anything from a cousin, mother, uncle, and so forth.

wake relatives

Relatives you never see until there is a funeral in the family & they show up to act greedy, stir discontent within the family, or stuff their faces with as much free food as they can at the post funeral reception.
When granpap died, all the wake relatives we hadn't seen since gramma's funeral began showing up to see who would inherit what, to point fingers at who caused granpap's cancer, and to stuff their faces at the buffet afterwards.

relative poverty

Two friends that haven't seen each other in a long time. One just got back from Peace Core.
"Ya, the people in the village have it rough, being in abject poverty, but they kept such a mellow and kind attitude while I was there."

"I can definitely relate, I was in poverty growing up. Dad unemployed by 2008 recession and all."

"Man, you were no where close to a starving African child back then, with your relative poverty. Absolute poverty is not the same. What?--someone dies every ten minutes from a car crash--when 130 die--of only children (age <5) in the same time."

"Holy shit. Why didn't I think about joining?"

"Mehh, it doesn't matter now. What's done, is gone. You could do other stuff to help lessen extreme poverty though."

Fusion Relative

A family relation in which there are two relationships at the same time - examples would be if a man has a child with two sisters, those kids would be siblings and cousins at the same time. If a man has a child with a mother and her daughter (from another man) those two kids would be siblings and aunt-uncle/niece-nephew at the same time.
What do you mean Timmy is your fusion relative? He's your brother and your uncle at the same time? Dude take that to Jerry Springer.
