What does Ghetto mean?
My friend said something about a guy looking really, "Ghetto." I just pretended I knew what she was talking about because I don't want to look really stupid. I'm curious though. I want to be able to use this slang (I assume it is slang...right?) with her. Does anybody know?

Ghetto is usually referred to a neighborhood of lesser income and such. To refer to something as ghetto, it's usually an insult. Unless you mean to offend someone, I wouldn't say it. It's not bad, but it's offensive to some and could potentionally insult them. Don't say it.

1. ghetto
1. (n.) an impoverished, neglected, or otherwise disadvantaged residential area of a city, usually troubled by a disproportionately large amount of crime
2. (adj.) urban; of or relating to (inner) city life
3. (adj.) poor; of or relating to the poor life
4. (adj.) jury-rigged, improvised, or home-made (usually with extremely cheap or sub-standard components), yet still deserving of an odd sense of respect from ghetto dwellers and non-ghetto dwellers alike
It's like.. poor basically. The definitions from above are really helpful.
