(adj) a cross between "ghetto" and "retro". Used to describe something both old and of ghetto quality. Often consists of large amounts of duct/masking tape. Rust, tears, rot, and/or ancient stains abound. Not cool enough to be "vintage".

Ghetto Clown 

An unsophisticated black man with absolutely no class whatsoever. A black man that will wear

sneakers and a twisted hat to a black tie event. They find it impossible to speak intelligently,

will always speak in ebonics and use past tenses, no matter the subject of conversation. You

can take the man out of the ghetto, but you can never take the ghetto out of the man.
