A poor person in a movie about rich people who only exists to teach the wealth-scarred protagonist(s) how to feel or act like humans
“Sam has such a loving family and he’s got his act together. It’s almost like he’s the rich guy instead of Derrick”
“Sam’s family showed up once on screen, and he has no problems or personality of his own. He’s just an emotional support poor.”

Akin to ad blindness, this describes the behavior where a person is so used to seeing poverty that her mind just ignores it altogether as if it didn't exist.
Due to poor blindness, Milchom lived with content and joy regardless if he lived in the slums where everybody barely had food to eat.

Probably the most criminally underrated thing to get at The Mac Shack, if not one of the greatest foods of all time. Order a 10-piece McNugget and add a few pumps of the same Spicy Pepper Sauce which is used on the Spicy Crispy Chicken sandwich, close the box and shake it until all of the nuggets are covered in sauce, and then proceed to indulge yourself. Legend has it that this delicious dish originated at the McDonald’s on 24th Street in East St. Louis, Illinois.
X: I’m going to McD’s, you want anything?
Y: Yeah, I’ll have the Poor Man’s Buffalo Wings with a large Sprite.
X: What are you talking about? They don’t HAVE buffalo wings.
Y: Then ask for Mcnuggets with Spicy Pepper sauce. Just try it, you won’t be dissapointed. Trust me.

Lighting and smoking a cigarette with tobacco and one hitter with Cannabis simultaneously. It can also be used as an attempt to mask the weed smell if circumstances require.
I grabbed a Marlboro red and poked my one hitter into the last of my weed to smoke a poor man's spliff.
