Also here ghetto can be slang for a person whos…well…ghetto. It’s a hard thing to describe, i’d have to point and show you someone who’s “ghetto”. lol

Oh okay like if you saw someone with a fake designer bag you could call them “ghetto” because they have a fake. Make any sense at all? (are we that odd in the US? lol)

Heh.. so.. like, tacky and wanna-be? Hrm, I don’t even know if we have a word that describes someone like that here!

ROFL – haven’t you ever heard that song ‘ghetto superstar’? Or seen any of about 800 movies which are about them? Like Save the Last Dance – I know you have that on VCD. Like, helloooooooo!!!! 😉

Yeaaaaaaah, but I don’t think the song gives a definition of the word! I still don’t see how Ghetto relates to pink though 😉

Me neither.. actually.. I don’t even really know the meaning of the word! Just something daggy, right?

Hee hee! Yeah, the ghettos are run-down, slummy neighborhoods (no offense to anyone who lives in one). Boy, they sure use that word a lot in the Navy. Anything that’s used as a makeshift device for something else, such as a heavy book as an iron, is considered “ghetto.” Duct tape around a few pieces of cardboard and you have yourself a ghetto box! Hee hee!

*lol* I didn’t know about the whole Navy thing.. I guess here they call those areas “bad areas” or something?!
