starving children in africa

A way to make people realize their situation is not as important as they think, or would like to think. Especially handy when dealing with math teachers.

Mrs Garrison: you haven't turned in your math homework!
Student: There are starving children in Africa!
Mrs Garrison: That is so true...wow, that really lets me see my life through another perspective. I give you an A!
Student: Thank you, starving children in Africa!

Third world starving

The feeling after nausea and stomach cramps, leaving you weak and immobile; your insides collapsing, devouring you within.

"I feel as though my insides have collapsed and are eating me from the inside out, I shouldn't have skipped breakfast...I am so freaking third world starving!"
