Ghettouflage 

1. A veneer of lesser objects, distracting a viewer from the quality, or value, underneath. 2. Anything that soft-pedals a potentially desirable object that may otherwise standout. 3. Something intended to cloak a treasure. 4. Seeming valueless 5. Illusion, or slight-of-hand, through placement of objects.

Note: Camoflauge is a known common misspelling for the word Camouflage. Thus, Ghettouflage is the proper spelling.
Homeboy's ghettouflage radically changed the appearance of his, high-end, glossy, new Bianchi cyclocross bike. He had pasted assorted stickers across most of bike's surface. Only time will tell if that helps protect it from a ghetto gank, considering current ghettonomics at the dawn of this humble year 2010.

ghettokinesis 

When you subconsciously hear ghetto words in every day conversation such as: "coanbred," black-eyed peas, collard greens, fried chicken, po-po, donk, et cetera.
"Did dat gurl just say 'COANBRED'?"
"Naw, gurl, you just got dat ghettokinesis."

adv. Something that is or appears ghetto
Why is the laundromat sign hung upside down? It's because washer turns. Aww, I thought it was placed ghettoly like that.

Ghettocopter 

Slang for a police helicopter that searches the ghetto at night for any suspicious activity going on like gang shootouts, robberies, etc. They shine their spotlight on the area so they can see better and to blind you so you lose in a gun fight. You should probably stay inside to prevent getting permanent blindness.
That ghettocopter in the sky is driving me nuts. I can't fall asleep because it's flying right by my house every 5 minutes.

I'm suing the police department for blinding me with their obnoxious spotlight.

Getting rid of the people in your social network who have the values or behavior of ghetto peeps. They got in by accident but they clearly don't belong in your social circle.
Aminata, thank you for helping me de-ghettofy my Facebook, easy way, by de-friending me.
