Poverty Jet Set

"A group of people given to chronic traveling at the expense of long-term job stability or a permanent residence. Tend to have doomed and extremely expensive phone-call relationships with people named Serge or Ilyana. Tend to discuss frequent-flyer programs at parties."
--Douglas Coupland, novel Generation X, 1991
"Alex's boss, unversed in the ways of the Poverty Jet Set, failed to understand why trudging into the office at noon with luggage and a shrug of, 'There was a web special to Tokyo,' was a good excuse for missing the eng all-hands meeting."

Poverty Spec

Poverty Spec is a term used when someone orders or purchases a car from a brand typically known for their higher end clientele (Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover, etc..) with very few options. This is done so the purchaser will seem more wealthy than they actually are.

An example of a "poverty spec" car is a Mercedes C class with just the lighting options to make the badge glow and project the emblem onto the ground under the doors. These cars typically have little to no options other than those that show off the brand.

Please note that this usually can't really apply to super high end cars like Mclarens, Lamborghinis, and Ferraris just to name a few, but it is still possible.
"Dude did you see that fancy Benz drive by?"

"Yeah, but it's a poverty spec C class, it only had the base 4 cylinder and illuminated badging."

"Hey man, wanna hit up Target?"
"Nah man, I'm below the poverty line, I can't afford that shit."
"So you shop at Walmart?"
"Yep."

Poverty Pimp

Poverty Pimp: A pejorative term used in the U.S. to label a person or group; typically an elected official, activist, religious leader, social services agency or faith-based organization, which has appointed itself as an intermediary for the poor and the disenfranchised, but which unethically benefits either financially or politically from their position as a representative of a "victimized group." Such a person isn't truly interested in helping the people that he/she claims to represent, but is instead more interested in their own career(s).

Examples: Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters, Obamacare.
Welfare agencies are often poverty pimps because if more minorities emancipated themselves from the welfare state, those who facilitate the welfare would be out of a job.
