So "Ghetto" Ok here's a topic i've often wondered about. Lately the word "ghetto" has taken on a new meaning and life of it's own. I believe the original meaning was a slumb or an area where less fortunate people live (dare I say predominantly minorites). Anyway, lately everyone and their mother uses that word and I know what they mean? For example when someone says "yo, it's mad ghetto in here" I guess they meaning it's not exactly the Hamptons. What I do wonder when using that word is, are people refering to blacks and hispanics? I hope i'm making sense... | |

I don't use it in reference to race at all. It means poor. Like, if you're smoking weed out of a pipe made out of aluminum foil...that's ghetto.
If you're eating ramen noodles for dinner, that's ghetto. If you're drinking the cheapest beer possible, that's ghetto. | |

There is a gay area in the city of the port of LA that is referred to as the gay ghetto and it's a nice area so I have no idea what other ways that word is being used. 2010: Healing the Wounds of the Past.... http://prince.org/msg/8/325740 | |

the alternative things people do when their broke to get over. like when i was younger i'd use fingernail polish to stop the run in my nylons or making frozen kool-aid ice cubes in the summer. i thought the term 'ghetto' started from the barriers that the Germans used to separate the Jewish people from the so-called 'aryans' or pure Germans. | |

I refer to "ghetto" like without manners or class. Or just some country ass back wood shit you have never seen before in the city. Not really a racial thing. For example: Going to a funeral and you see your crazy cousin wearing pink hair, nails two feet long and a thong bathing suit at the viewing is "Ghetto."

That shit is GHETTO. No just lazy. Ghetto would be if you just threw it on the floor near the fridge on top of the bag of McD's that only has a few fries in it you were "saving" Christian Zombie Vampires | |
