Trenches

"Trenches" is street slang used to describe neighborhoods characterized by poverty, low income, high crime rates, or a combination of these factors. The term is metaphorically inspired by the trenches used in military warfare, particularly during World War I. Trenches in war were long, narrow ditches with harsh, unsanitary conditions, often flooded with water during rains, leading to issues like trench foot. They were also sites of constant danger, including artillery shelling, enemy raids, and full-scale charges by opposing forces armed with bayonets, knives, and other close-combat weapons.

In modern street slang, the "trenches" evoke a similar sense of danger, where individuals face daily struggles to survive amid risks such as gang violence, shootings, and other threats to personal safety. The comparison highlights the shared themes of living under pressure, danger, and resilience in challenging environments.
