Not to be mistaken with the ghetto. The area(s) in a city where not only poor, usually black people, live, where much violence takes place. The hood is where you get shot, stabbed, mugged, etc., the ghetto is just a poor area.
Poor Black Guy 1 "Yo man I live in the hood!"
Poor Black Guy 2 "No you don't, you live in the ghetto, I live in the hood! Hell, I just got my rims stolen AND my ass shanked just yesterday!"
