impoivrished 

Pronounced "im-pwahv-rished".

The state of being so poor (or so repulsed by grocery shopping) as to lack salt and pepper. This is often the case for students and young adults who are making their initial attempt at living outside the vicinity of their parents' well-stocked cupboards. From "poivre", French for pepper.

Guest: "Have you any salt or pepper? These French fries could use a little help."

Host: "No. I took such condiments for granted while I was in the warmth and safety of my parents' home, and only now that I am on my own do I realize that don't have shit. And I'm too lazy to go shopping. I am impoivrished. Deal with it."

Guest throws fries at Host's head.

Intellectually Impoverished 

Inability to make effective life (enriching and/or saving) decisions, absent of preexisting mental health illnesses or substance abuse/addictions, based on a lack of knowledge or exposure to positive, grow producing, cultures and intellectual developmental externalities beyond an individual's parochial socio-economic, academic and cultural experiments.

Her intellectually impoverished mindset limits her ability to interact with people who are not from the same neighborhood.
