poor couture

When poor, trashy people try really hard to dress in what they think is fashionable and cool... But it's hilariously bad, but entertaining.

This guy on "Life After Lockup" wearing the giant sunglasses, scarf, and fingerless gloves is poor couture.

Poor Man's Spliff

Lighting and smoking a cigarette with tobacco and one hitter with Cannabis simultaneously. It can also be used as an attempt to mask the weed smell if circumstances require.

I grabbed a Marlboro red and poked my one hitter into the last of my weed to smoke a poor man's spliff.
