self-sufficiency standard 

(ECONOMICS) an alternative metric of poverty; used instead of the poverty level by some researchers.

Developed as a superior alternative to the federal poverty level to estimate the income required for families to pay for their basic needs. Computed at the county level, the SSS takes into account the costs of food, housing, health insurance, childcare, transportation, taxes, and other basic expenses, with component values varying across more than 70 different family types. SSS wages have been calculated to date for all counties in 35 states and the District of Columbia.
Usually people are not concerned by reports of the large numbers of people living below the poverty level, because they assume it just means poor people have to tighten their belts.

The self-sufficiency standard (SSS), if explained, should change this. If a person's wages are below the SSS, then she is not only not making enough to meet her current needs, she's not making enough to preserve her ability to earn what little she has.

Selfficient 

The state or quality of being selfish and efficient at the same time. A person who is able to make others do or remember things for them, effectively reducing or eliminating that persons effort in doing the work.

Sufficiently Siphonsiphide 

CONTENTMENT!

1) When attending a banquet (or buffet for the less fortunate) and stuffing your face full of good food to the point where your belly is just comfortable, you may express that you are sufficiently siphonsiphide.

2) When life is so great to the point where you are "happy as Larry" or "happy as a hot hog in a cold puddle of mud" or you are content to the point of being sufficiently siphonsiphide.
When eating a pizza at a posh pizza place surronded by many good friends, (and probably a couple of wankers too) just before putting the last piece of pizza in your mouth you say, "ahhh... I am suffiently siphonsiphide"

After having the best sex in your life and orgasming hard enough to blow your balls through the eye of your old boy (thus simulating birth), just before rolling over for a well deserved sleep the last thought that runs through your head is "ahh... I am sufficiently siphonsiphide!"

sufficiently awesome 

Awesome, but not TOO awesome.
*While buzzed on beer.* This pizza is sufficiently awesome.
