Ramen

A college student's staple food, given that most of the poor kid's money will go directly towards tuition and rent.

8 packets of Ramen noodles for a dollar. Not a bad deal at all, since that's all most students can afford until their next paychecks.

Enjoying a service without paying for it.

The beggar managed to sweet-talk the bus driver into giving him a freeride across town.

morale

Cheerfulness, well-being, confidence, and the willful spirit to do something.

No research is needed to show that employee morale usually sinks lower than an ocean trench within a few months of working at any job.

gumbo

A dish that originated from the black people of the South-Eastern United States. It is a mixture of meat, okra, leafy vegetables, clili peppers, and whatever leftover food you have.

Are you sure that was the month-old pot roast you put in that gumbo because I swear I saw something swimming in my bowl when I stuck my spoon in?

street pharmacist

A drug dealer who sells homemade versions of commercial drugs at a much lower price than the store brands.

With the same amount of money I spend for 100 painkiller pills at the store, I can get 500 of the same pills from the street pharmacist.
