Generally used by Maoris when calling out one or some of their mates for constantly borrowing/asking for stuff and never giving it back, or acting as if they're poor.
So it can be used for a person who'd rather use or "borrow" (but not give back) stuff they are lent, instead of buying their own things.
Pretty much a moocher.
person 1: Oi bro, can I borrow a pen?
person 2: Nah man, that's like the 3rd pen I've given you this week! Stop being a pohara and buy your own.
person 1: Bro, can I have a chip person 2: Yeah I guess
person 1: (takes half the pack)
person 2:F**k you're such a pohara, I didn't mean take all of them!
A special type of failure, about 7 levels below failure. Failure so fantastic, it's written about in epic novels.
Man 1: "I heard a nerd asked out a model, what happened?"
Man 2: "Well, first she said no and threw her drink in his face. Then she got her quarterback boyfriend to throw the nerd into a trash can and down some stairs. Then the trash can spontaneously burst into flame and got run over by a marching band."
Man 1: "Dude.....phailure..."
word said to another when he/she fails at something (a game, a contest, a test, etc.); pronounced like "failed;" after saying "phail'd," make sure to spell it out for them so it's not the normal "failed."
