Poor's the new black

by Francesco Pinna

TheNigs!™- Description: Mid 20’s, college student or graduate. Most likely belonging to the upper middle class or higher, but always  flossing like he/she’s poor when it comes to paying the bills…
Sounds familiar?  Know somebody like that?  Beware!  In that case you could be the  victim of a TheNigs!™. Or you actually are one?  Then you’re just plain TheNigs!™.
We’ve heard it all from TheNigs!™: ‘Oh, I’m so poor,’ ‘I’m so broke dude,’ ‘Seriously I got 20 europs to my name’. Here’s a simple way to defend yourself from TheNigs!™:
Use power-phrases like: ‘We’ll if you’re so fucking poor then where you getting all that fashion designer gear from you stupid cunt!’ Or in case of suspiciously extensive traveling  activity  of the presumable TheNigs!™: ‘Well if your so fucking poor how is it then that you’ve just come back from skiing in the Swiss Alps?
Dude you’re TheNigs!™!’
The shock effect of these insults will make TheNigs!ä retreat back to reality instantly; Realize that he/she’s not from the ghetto but simply from the meadow. Don’t hesitate in expressing these phrases.  The former TheNigs!™ will eventually thank you for saving him/her from being a cheap impostor.

(My credibility is in no way undermined by the conflict of interest arising in this article as I, myself, under circumstances could be defined  a…TheNigs!™)
