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

Walmart is ghetto.

Not until they start offering transient housing... then it's 'guetto-ness' will be complete.

They have a camping department...

And if someone accused you of being racist or classist for saying so?

I'd tell them to get a life and not waste my time

when people call me racist i say, hell yeah i'm racist!!! damn white devils.

Everytime I hear the word "ghetto" I think about WW2, the jewish ghettos. I kind of find it strange that people would call you a racist for saying the word.

A few years ago, my car window came off the gears, and so I duck-tapped it up with saran wrap. Then I drove 5 hours to get home for thanksgiving.

Ghetto-fabulous.

i guess it could be seen as a prejudiced term altho he’s a little oversensitive, he was obviously trying to assert his opinion to make you look like a fool and him the righteous one....fckin idiot

ghetto means to me: an underprivileged area that is ignored by the better off…and pop/rap stars are now using the term to seem cool/tough which fans are copying. It’s all superficial crap.

I think I'm well-qualified to identify ghetto. You should see my neighborhood.

Pass the jug, sister! I'm loving the sangria this summer. I've been doing tropical fruit sangria with white wine lately. yummmm.

Heh... I get my hooch from the neighbor's still down the road...

It's useful stuff... get you to the moon in a matter of minutes, can replace gas in an '85 pickup, useful as battery acid, and will take rust off a bumper.

Boy, you really ARE living in BFE, aren't you?

Yes ma'am.. I's be's in the boonies.. that's fur sure.

I live two miles from a lake... there are about 10 different trails through the woods to get there. Half the people here do not have a fishing license... or hunting license for that matter. There's a subdivision called "NuWorld" that is about 10 miles out in the woods... I've only seen it twice when I was a kid... most everyone else thinks it's just a myth.

The population here is under 3000 people... at least I think... they're scattered about. One school, two eating places, two gas stations, one bank, and an all-in-one fire dept. and water company.... and that's about it.
