A worthless individual, who is depicted as bottom of the barrel in a social or work environment.
A socialite or corporate executive would be in the clouds. A peasant or low life would be just above a tree.

In dating/mating terms, an 'above ground pool' is someone who typically wouldn't be your 1st choice...but start to look more and more appealing when you have no other options. It may not be ideal, but at least you're getting wet!
I hooked up with Dave last night. He's a total above ground pool, but sometimes you just gotta swim like no one is watching.
A science-fiction/drama series created by James Wong and Glen Morgan, that lasted one season, and aired from 1995 to 1996. Follows a group of marine cadets as they form a military squadron called the "Wildcards" and take on extremely dangerous. The "main" character is Lt. Nathan West, who signed up because he wasn't allowed to go on a colonizing mission with his girlfriend Kylen Selina. Unfortunately, the craft Kylen was on was attacked by a race of unknown beings, who then come to be named "Chigs". In the final episode of the series, the Chigs struck a tentative peace treaty with the Earth government, but used a captured Chig to assassinate a group of high-ranking Earth delegates. The Wildcards managed to find the transport ship Kylen was being carried on, due to a trade agreement between the aliens and the Earth government, but the squadron were attacked by Chigs. In the end, two of the recruits were facing possible death as their escape pod drifted towards the surface of a planet, one recruit sacrificed himself to save the lives of everyone, and Nathan West finally found Kylen. In short, one of the greatest science-fiction shows ever.
"We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours. Until one night in 2063, on a Earth colony 16 light-years away, they struck. Now we're at war. We fight when called, in space, on land, and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat; to surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call... above and beyond."

When someone needs to take such a large dump that the resulting pile of feces rises above the water level of the toilet.
My bathroom smelled so bad since my roommate's shit was above sea level.

A favor from above is completed when you are perched high above your friends wedding with a sniper rifle and pick him off the altar just before he weds his fiance. This is most commonly done because you can't stand the bitch he's going to marry and you need to put your friend out of his indefinite misery.
Duder 1: "Damn dude can't belive the big day is next week. Is she letting you have a bachelor party?"
Duder 2: "No, she said I can't have one. But she's having like three bachelorette parties."
Duder 1: "Wow dude you're miserable. Hopefully you'll receive a favor from above next week..."
