diamond in the rough

Someone that falls into unfortunate circumstances but works to better themselves, whether it be the homeless, imprisoned etc.

I love JJ, although he's in prison, he's got potential, he's my diamond in the rough.

diamond in the rough

A girl/guy who is fine as hell, but lives in the ghetto or has ghetto tendencies due in part because they lived and were raised in the ghetto.

Guy 1: I can't believe that a girl that fine lives in a ghetto ass neighborhood.

Guy 2: She's definitely hot! She's a diamond in the rough.

Diamond in the rough

Something a bully calls themself.

Nobody really thought there was any roughness to the girl that called herself a diamond in the rough but herself, everybody else just thought she was a bully who was silly more often than not.

Diamond in the rough

Doesn't really have to describe anything internal or external based on my experience. A way for somebody to describe themself as rougher/tougher than they actually are.

He never saw the roughness that the girl calling herself the diamond in the rough was describing in her title for herself.
