'Poverty Crunch'

Used to describe the combination of milk and ice in a bowl to simulate cereal, usually when there is no other option available.

Man, I ran out of Apple Jacks! Guess I'll make some 'Poverty Crunch'.

You ever put ice and milk together man? I love 'Poverty Crunch'!

Poverty Rationalization

The set of beliefs that attribute systemic, structural economic deprivation to the moral, cultural, or intellectual failings of the poor themselves. It uses anecdotes of exceptional escape ("pull yourself up by your bootstraps") or pseudo-scientific theories about intelligence and work ethic to rationalize inequality as a natural and fair outcome.

Example: Blaming poverty on a "culture of dependency" or poor financial choices like buying smartphones. This poverty rationalization ignores structural factors like wage stagnation, discriminatory policies, and capital concentration. It transforms an economic outcome of systemic design into a character judgment, protecting the system from critique.

Poverty Club

1. A club with no financial funding that plays LOC 9 and trains on a shit track every week.

2. The West Ivanhoe Cricket Club

Mate that track is a cow paddock, makes sense since they haven't won a game all year, what a poverty club.
