self sufficient
by Your younger and annoyed boss on Apr 06, 2010 10:00:39
The ability to not require me to
babysit your ass on every little task that needs to be completed. Furthermore, not having to remind you of every little task that is required of you. Also, you being able
to navigate the damn "help"
tutorial on the computer, website, mobile device, etc. instead of expecting ME to be your "help" tutorial. Basically, being able to do ANYTHING your own damn self without annoying me.
Example:
I work with a ton of "independent contractors" in sales who can't seem to be able to wipe their own butt
without me explaining it to them, writing down the directions,
printing off a
tutorial or loading a video for them demonstrating how to do so. I wish they could all be self sufficient.
Sufficiently Siphonsiphide

CONTENTMENT!
1) When attending a banquet (or buffet for the less fortunate) and stuffing your face full of good food to the point where your belly is just comfortable, you may express that you are
sufficiently siphonsiphide.
2) When life is so great to the point where you are "
happy as Larry" or "happy as a
hot hog in a cold puddle of mud" or you are content to the point of being sufficiently siphonsiphide.
Example:
When eating a pizza at a posh
pizza place surronded by many good friends, (and probably a couple of wankers too) just before putting the last
piece of pizza in your mouth you say, "ahhh... I am suffiently siphonsiphide"
After having the best sex in your life and orgasming hard enough to blow your balls through the eye of your old boy (thus simulating birth), just before rolling over for a well deserved sleep the last thought that runs through your head is "ahh... I am
sufficiently siphonsiphide!"

Example:
"Dude...Did you
tap that chick's ass at the party?"
"Ya. She wasn't
UBER hot. But she met 'sufficient cuteness'."

Example:
"any time my sufficiency is
questioned i go into
automatic."
"I wake up every day, and I go into auto sufficient
mode."
self-sufficiency standard
by Primus Intra Pares on Jul 17, 2010 06:25:35
(ECONOMICS) an alternative metric of poverty; used instead of the
poverty level by some researchers.
Developed as a superior alternative to the federal poverty level to estimate the income required for families to pay for their basic needs.
Computed at the county level, the
SSS takes into account the costs of food, housing, health insurance, childcare, transportation, taxes, and other basic expenses, with component values varying across more than 70 different family types. SSS wages have been calculated to date for all counties in 35 states and the District of Columbia.
Example:
Usually people are not concerned by reports of the large numbers of people living below the
poverty level, because they assume it just means poor people have to tighten their belts.
The self-sufficiency standard (
SSS), if explained, should change this. If a person's
wages are below the SSS, then she is not only not making enough to meet her current needs, she's not making enough to preserve her ability to earn what little she has.
