A person or persons who are living in a certain area infested with crime, government housing or just part of the lower to lower middle class economic demographic. Ghetto is often misconstrued to be synonymous with ratchet people. Although ratchet people can reside in the ghetto, not everybody in the ghetto can be classified as ghetto. People who are ratchet (also known as hood rats) have very low standards, they have multiple kids with no good partners, unambitious so they live off food stamps and low income housing. They also loud and rowdy and ready to throw down over the most ridiculous perceived slights. They often have no moral values and no self respect , they can be considered a waste of tax payer dollars. Being ghetto on the other hand is different. Even though you are less privileged that
others,, you don't let that hold you back. You often hustle or grind to make your life better, knowing full well that through working smart and coupled with hardwork can get you in high places. Ghetto people usually are in touch with their surrounding, their Street smart and often use cost effeciency to obtain their goals. Since they have less disposable income, they resort to means others may deem being cheap. Ghetto people are just a product of their environment, the appreciate the hustle, love urban music and often times carry that ghetto mentality everywhere they go. This is why they say you can't sleep someone out the hood, but you can take the hood out of them.

Get the Ghettomug. When under pressure or stress, quickly cranking up your attitude and defensive posture to way over the top, well beyond what the situation calls for. Arm waving and finger pointing may be utilized to increase the effect. Usage is frequently associated with a short time interval (see example, below).
- "Bro, did you see her reaction to that barista at Starbuck's?."
- "Whoa, Zero to Ghetto in .2 seconds, yo."
- "Whoa, Zero to Ghetto in .2 seconds, yo."
