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.

Provenzano

A total scumbag and pathological liar who hides the fact that hes currently living with his girlfriend so that he can date other women at the same time. A provenzano has been cohabitating with his girlfriend the entire duration of your relationship, much to your surprise and chagrin. Warning Signs that your man is a philandering piece of shit Provenzano include your two timing boyfriend taking you out to his lake house (that is hours away from civilization) for weekends together (instead of spending time with you at his house or apartment), him making shady secret phone calls late at night or early in the morning, him constantly on edge and gaurding his cell phone from view, and him being tagged by hideous women in ridiculous pictures on Facebook, for all to see. He promptly untags himself from these embarissing pictures a day or so later. Said man is an asshole a liar, and a rat bastard.
I just found out that this guy im dating has a girlfriend, and they live together! I've been provenzano'd!

If that rat bastard provenzano were half as good an actor on tv as he is with the women he's two-timing then maybe he wouldn't have gotten booted off a reality show after 1 measly season.

I called my boyfriends cell today, and his 'girlfriend' picked up. They live in Harlem together. That scumbag totally provenzano'd me!

He's had a live in girlfriend this entire time we've been dating. I can't believe he's such a douchebag Provenzano.

She is devastated. Turns out her mans been provenzanoing her behind her back this entire time.
