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.”

Poor-Old Warthog 

Sadness when somone needlessly abuses a Warthog Jeep and causes pointless damage to said vehicle. Warthogs appear in the game Halo (and now Halo 2)
Tom: Watch what happens when i set all the granades under the Jeep.
<BOOM>
Me: Poor Old Warthog.

Poor Old Man 

Burgdorf's favorite phrase.
Our poor old Failüre's been greatly annoyed by the lunacy of the legendary Burgy. Everyone's been greatly amused, except the... Poor Old Man.
(short applause, laughing, and boozing)
