Poverties

Slang term for the cheapest wheels option available from the factory for a car in the American classic car scene. Typically a body-color or black painted steel wheel with the least complicated, smallest chromed hubcaps they can design. Also called "dog dishes" for their shape, the Big Three just called them "standard."

Poverty

Many percieve that poverty only exists in third world countries, but the reality is, you will find poverty in almost every country in the world, even in developed countries like the USA, Britain, Canada, Australia ect.
In the UK alone, it is thought that up to 40% of children live in poverty. First world country my arse.

Poverty

When your family dosen't have any money and lives a horrible existence. It's really not anything to joke about.

Poverty is when your family is lazy and live in section 8 housing units and get state government checks just to get by.

Poverty is when you get made fun of for not wearing anything clean or nice to school and being known as one of "poorest kids at school" and laughed at.

Poverty is when no one likes you at school because of it.

Poverty is when your mom keeps having baby after baby just to get her welfare check to support her habit.

Poverty is when your mom gives you up and no one likes you and you wonder if you'll end up the same as her.
Poverty is a hellish existence and I live it.
