The Word "Ghetto"- What Does it Mean to You?

[misombra]

I dunno Your ghetto, but I know there was a Jewish ghetto in Warsaw during II WW... I assume it means some kind of closed area,where people are living `like in another world`,different than other people outside the ghetto...

every time i saw the word in front of my older jewish friend she reminds me of this.

There's nothing worse than an angry person who doesn't really understand why they are angry. Or what to do about it.

I have a piece of toilet paper stuck up my nose because of my allergies (and I'm out of Kleenex) ... how ghetto is that?

So, Gig, you don't take these things to heart, I know. How did you smack the brat down in the end?

Shorty - I just used newspaper to clean the windows on my car because I am about to run out of paper towels, and I don't want to go to the store. How ghetto is that?

Since I can't come up with any funny quips as to what ghetto looks like, I'll say that 'getto' is Italian for Foundry.

So, apparently the word just refers the the working class, blue collar neighbourhoods where people who worked at such places lived.

Isn't it ironic that metalworkers today make shitloads of $$$ and are living in places anywhere BUT ghetto?

Oh, that's not ghetto enough ... because newspapers are known to leave your windows streak-free! You need to use the newpaper to apply AmorAll, then you got it!

But you're getting closer! haha

True, my windows are clean, but I am covered in ink! It's ghetto, I say!!!

Heh... ghetto is what I was a few weeks ago. Ghetto is where I was... I mean I was there. Who the hell would think living destitute is cool goes way beyond me.

**** it... give me my square luxuries... food, more than 2 mismatched outfits, and losing the 'hustler' additude (and not the cool kind of 'hustling' either). Shit... I gotta have my pride.

And then pay the extra $50 reconnection fee? I see.

Indi, you are the opposite of ghetto ... If we looked up "ghetto" in a thesaurus, your picture would be next to the antonyms.

Told him, basically, that he was welcome to keep shopping at Wal-mart.
