Ghetto tape has nothing to do with the word 'ghetto' other than the fact that it isn't high-quality or priced. Ghetto tape is any sticky, tape-like substance that is designed and named for use as a certain thing, then turned around and used as another.
My dad used gauze to cover my tennis racquet handle, instead of the normal tournagrip. Gauze, while being used for medicinal purposes, was now doubled as ghetto tape for tennis.

A person, generally of an urban background, who when expressing pleasantries or feelings of gratitude, would act selfishly in his or her actions.
Used in a sentence, "That lady is really ghetto sweet."
Someone who is ghetto sweet might say, "That's a pretty shirt, you almost look as good as me."
An example of something that would quality one being ghetto sweet would be if a lady were to re-gift to you a gift card when she had already used a portion of the card on herself. Another example would be if this person were to compliment while putting you down by telling you the ways that he or she is better than you.

When late at night after a restaurant gets slow and it is down to closers, a slew of ratchet tables come pouring in, seemingly out of nowhere.
