Poor cunt

Someone who has a 9-5 job and hates wealthy successful people because they are better than them and help in society when they don’t and wish they didn’t have a low self of esteem and hate on any wealth they see around them such as a successful person driving a Ferrari they claim they scammed people etc because the poor cunt failed and is living a broke ass miserable life driving a fiat 500. This is someone who will go nowhere in life and just hang around with other losers who think they same.

Look at that poor cunt over there scraping that Ferrari!

poormanteau

A portmanteau of "poor man" and "portmanteau". Signifies a word that is a feeble attempt at creating a portmanteau or a feeble attempt at slang in general. It arises most often when someone consciously tries to come up with a slang word or phrase.

The linguistics professor knew much about language, but the slang he came up with was riddled with poormanteaus.

"Poormanteau" is clearly a poormanteau, and perhaps the only meta-poormanteau.
