Poor man's Punishment

The act of melting down a snickers bar in a pan and throwing the molten nougat into someones face. This then sticks to the victims face, burning them continuously.

Person 1: Did you see that guys face?! What happened to him?

Person 2: Yeah, it seems poor man's punishment got the better of him.

Person 1: What! That must of hurt.

the poor man always buys twice

When someone is a tight-arse with money and they sacrifice quality for a cheap dollar price. The item usually breaks or doesn’t work well and they have to buy again what they should have bought the first time

“I thought I got the bargain of all time but it was just crap.”
“Mate. The poor man always buys twice!”

old poor

A person or group that is accustomed to the life of a poor individual.

Used to differentiate between new poor and old poor.

The primary indicator is the stress level difference between the two, old poor individuals knowingly and easily change to a poor lifestyle with minimal stress understanding the sacrifices that need to be made to pay the bills and are content in the fact that they will likely be out of this state in a month or two.

A “keep your head down and keep moving” attitude associated with low finances.

In “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia,”

Mac: “They’re what’s called “new poor.” We’re old poor.”
