(1,262 posts)Per Urban Dictionary, a "brokeahontas" is a term used to describe a person that is always unable to go anywhere or do anything because they don't have any money. Often used in a snide way when referring to a person that consistently uses lack of money as an excuse for not going out.
The term is being used to describe Trump's status as a billionaire in reverse, per Bill Maher on Twitter.
