ghetto

A place with high crime rates , drugs, prostitutes, strippers, low performing schools, and is usually run down. A lot of children in middle and upper class suburbs lie to people and say they are from the ghetto to sound cool.

McKenna lied to her classmates and said she's from Baltimore.

Suburban kids:
"Where you from? Baltimore or D.C.?"
"Neither, I'm from the suburbs, just like you."

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are now approaching the ghetto, please fasten your seatbelt and bullet proof vest, and secure all wallets and valuables."
