I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was
needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself
as needy. I was deprived. (Oh not deprived but rather underprivileged.)
Then they told me that underprivileged was overused. I was disadvantaged.
I still don't have a dime. But I have a great vocabulary.
-- Jules Feiffer (1965)
