Get the Rel mug.Two friends that haven't seen each other in a long time. One just got back from Peace Core.
"Ya, the people in the village have it rough, being in abject poverty, but they kept such a mellow and kind attitude while I was there."
"I can definitely relate, I was in poverty growing up. Dad unemployed by 2008 recession and all."
"Man, you were no where close to a starving African child back then, with your relative poverty. Absolute poverty is not the same. What?--someone dies every ten minutes from a car crash--when 130 die--of only children (age <5) in the same time."
"Holy shit. Why didn't I think about joining?"
"Mehh, it doesn't matter now. What's done, is gone. You could do other stuff to help lessen extreme poverty though."

Get the relative poverty mug.This term is used to describe the common mentality, usually held by mildly trashy people, that everyone trashier than them is indeed trashy but they fail to recognize their own trashiness.
I'm going to burn this plastic in a barrel behind my house.
That's trashy.
I know I'm not trashy. People in the ghetto are trashy
You have a case of trash relativity my friend.
You really shouldn't walk over furniture like that.
Why?
It ruins the furniture over time and it's trashy
Omg It's not trashy

Get the Trash Relativity mug.A general name given to inspirational family members. It is often thought to represent cousins. It encapsulates all that is great about cousins. They are family, but not so significantly close in relation that one would be overly offended about insults directed towards them. Particularly, the triple cheeseburger component highlights the meaty undercarriages of many, as well as, identifying how deliciously inspiring many of these cousins are. It has been rumoured that they can become the muse of others to create beautiful works of art (eg poetry).
Big dog: Yo homie. What’s crackin? How’s that relative triple cheeseburger of yours doing.
Bernie: You know how I do. I be tryin to keep that meat in its package. But it ain’t easy.
Big dog: Aight. You do you. But check this dope poem about your relative triple cheeseburger
‘Roses are red
Bernies cousins in heat
So he went down south
To pump in his meat’
