I know what ghetto is when I see it, but I have a few friends who don't know what it means and I can not explain it. Can any of you but ghetto into words?

Well, I have two definitions for 'ghetto'.

One is a really poor part of town. The other is when a bunch of stereotypical black people all live in one area.

I mean as in calling a person ghetto because we have another friend and she knows what ghetto means and I calol her ghetto, but she can't explain it either. Is it when you find a weird solution to a problem.

( it doesn't really have I specific meaning as far as I can tell)

Well, it depends on what she does. I think each person has a different definition for calling someone 'ghetto'.

But I think it could also mean 'thrifty'.

I know what it means.

It means someone from a lower income section of a city (they're usually black.) who has basically has an ignorant and often times racist view of other ethnic backgrounds in or outside the city.

Ways to pick out a "ghetto person": Nappy hair (all of the time that you see them.), Speaking loudly in public, Uses Public transportation throughout most of their lives, Eats fastfood through most of the day, Usually wears "ghetto clothing" (Dickies, Apple Bottoms, ect...), Considers everything new to their enviroment "white" (Rock music, organic food, interest in reading and proper education.), And finally someone who usually has alot of children and no father to help out.

P.S. A majority of this true, but don't make assumptions with this, do your own investigation.

That is an unfair generalization and that not what ghetto even means.
Ghetto means a part of town where minorities are held. It is all a mind game that the goverment is playing.
