It once meant where the Jews used to live in WWII Germany. Now it means an area of a city that, due to lack of income pouring in or loss of jobs or businesses moving out, crumbles away from lack of maintenence. Because no well-to-do people wish to live in such deplorable conditions, they move out, and the poor people move in, and as a result, the crime and death rate rises in the area due to people fighting each other over money-related problems.

A ghetto is kind of like a part of a city that is completely blocked off by walls. A lot of Jews were put into ghettos in Nazi Germany, before they were sent to death camps. But ghetto can also mean an area in a town where a certain group of people live, for example, a Greek neighborhood. It's also associated with the modern African American style of music called "gangsta", "gangsta rap", or other stuff that it is probably called.

from my understanding it means something along the lines of cheap, but creative like if you broke your window and then taped garbage bags to cover it that would be "ghetto". im probably not the best person to answer this question, but i thought id give it a shot. ask your local gansta or pimp.

During the hollicost (sp?) Jews were put into ghettos by the nazi. Today it refers to any ethnic neighborhood. Most people use it to places where people of Africian American decent live or something that is "hott". However, that is not the proper term people are just stupid.
