poverty ball

Nickname for soccer/football. This sport is most enjoyed in impoverished third-world countries since its most rudimentary equipment necessity is a ball. Shoes are optional. Even at a professional level the sport has the cheapest equipment costs. The next cheapest sport is probably basketball.
The FIFA World Cup is the largest gathering of poverty ball fans in the world every four years.

puberty

It's what children start when they're the ages usually 10-18. It's the development of sexual growth.


GIRLS: Girls start earlier then boys do, there are no physical appereances shown, their ovaries are growing, and breast buds will start to show up at around the ages of 8-10.

The first real sign is breats, then pubic hair. They hit a growth stage, and grow rapidly in height. They usually have hips to carry babies. They start having monthly cycles called the menstural cycle. They're done growing quicker then boys are. Both boys and girls develop acne.


BOYS: They start later then girls. Usually around 12-18. Maybe 10-18. Everyone is different. The first notice is height. They grow taller, and their voice deepens dramatically. They start getting facial hair, and pubic hair. Their penis grows dramastically. They get muscles as well. Boys are typically taller then girls, but not always. Boys also start having sperm, and having wet dreams.
Boy: Have you started puberty?
Girl: Yes, have you?
Boy: Yes.
Girl: I don't like it.
Boy: Neither do I.



Girl: Have you started your period?
Girl 2: Yeah.
Girl: I hate puberty.
Girl 2: Me too.

poverty level

(ECONOMICS) an official definition of poverty, in which one third of one's income is spent on food. "Food," here, is defined as the most cost-effective way of meeting basic nutritional needs.

The definition has one advantage, which is that researchers can get comparable information about poverty for any country in the world. The disadvantage is that it's arbitrary (why one third? why food? why not shelter, health care, and heating?); the other is that the cost of living varies dramatically in different neighborhoods in different cities of different US states, yet the poverty level is the same (expressed in dollar amounts) everywhere in a given country.

A better measure is the self-sufficiency standard.
Living under the official poverty level can be a lot worse in affluent communities like San Francisco, where the cost of basic necessities is very high. On the other hand, it's also a lot worse in areas such as rural Mississippi, where public amenities (such as libraries equipped with computers for public use) are rare.

Honey, did you see the place for sale down the street? It's a run-down double-wide on a flat one acre lot. Includes monster truck. Wow, that's what I call "poverty with a view".
