Ghettofication

The opposite of "gentrification." It is the bombardment of lower classes slowly taking over and moving in to middle-class and affluent neighborhoods.

The temporary work agency located in the slums of town is recruting work for the jobs at my workplace in the more affluent side of town, causing a ghettofication of our workplace.

Someone who constantly gets their name misspelled by their closest friends; even by the ones who should know better, given that they have even, at one time, asked why his is name is spelled with a redundant 'k'.

Friend: "Do you spell your name with a 'c' or a 'k'?"

Erick: "With both, actually. I'll show you again."

Friend: "Eh? What is that? How do you even pronounce it? ErickKk-kk?"

Erick: "You can just make the 'k' sound once."

Friend: "But how"

Erick: "It's fine. Just call me Eric."

Friend: "Cool, thanks man."
