ghetto hybrid

When a cash-strapped driver of a gas guzzler changes their driving habits to approach and/or rival the fuel efficiency of a legitamate hybrid vehicle like the Prius. Such behavior modification may include shutting off the vehicle at train crossings and long lights to reduce idle-times. More aggressive behavior modification may involve putting the vehicle into neutral--or even shutting off the engine altogether--when driving down a hill. Furthermore, if the driver is so inclined, it is possible to compare the marginal increase in engine RPM's and simply derive a piece-wise nonlinear regression function that can accurately pinpoint the ideal cruise speed/s for the vehicle.
Clem and Pat are waiting for Clark to arrive at the party.

Clem: Where's Clark? He left his place a half-hour ago and he only lives 20 minutes away.
Pat: He's driving the ghetto hybrid.
Clem: What?!
Pat: Look, the speed limit might be 70, but he prefers to drive at 51 since it adds like 5 miles to the gallon.
Clem: OMG

ghetto tourist

A popular singer or entertainer, who affects a manner, lifestyle, or the speech of someone from a deprived or oppressed background, in an attempt to be considered more "street." When in fact they had a middle class or privileged upbringing.
Both Amy Winehouse and Lily Allen are ghetto tourists.
Amy thinks she's Billie Holiday reincarnated, but she was born in a North London suburb, went to an independent school and the Sylvia Young stage school, any "tragedy" she's endured she's manufactured for herself.

Lily Allen tries to give the impression when she sings that she's really a Cockney.
She was born in Hammersmith and raised in Islington, a pleasant London suburb. Her father is an actor, her mother a film producer. She attended a number of private schools in the better parts of London, including one Prince Charles attended.

Ghetto lottery

A game played by lawbreakers wherein a large cash sum may be awarded after winning or, more commonly, settling a lawsuit against the city due to supposedly unjustifiable police action. Sums are awarded either to 'victims' or their grossly dysfunctional relatives, and typically spent frivolously within a short space of time on unnecessary goods.

How to enter:
1) Do not behave like a civilized human being

2) Do not co-operate with law enforcement under any circumstances
3) To the greatest extent possible, provoke the police into detaining or arresting
3) Resist detainment/arrest; claim it to be unlawful
4) Sustain fatal or serious injury (relatives of the deceased shall enter the lottery)
5) When contacted by toxic 'civil rights' lawyers, agree to everything
6) Tell the media that you "didn't do nothing" (or that your relative was "a good kid")

Please note: Entry into the ghetto lottery is possible only in cities with corrupt and extremely liberal district attorneys, judges, etc.
- Quantavius Williams, 21, was shot and killed by police after reaching into his waistband while fleeing on foot following a dangerous high-speed vehicle pursuit. The City of Atlanta awarded his relatives $500,000 after settling a wrong death lawsuit.

- Markeesha Jones, 49, was detained after she refused to identify herself to police during a burglary investigation. Jones' attorneys claim that her civil rights were violated because the police had no reasonable suspicion to question her. The City of San Fransisco was ordered to award $8.5m to Markeesha and her daughter, Mo'nique.

- Connor Blackwell, 31, was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident and disorderly conduct, but was pronounced deceased after suffering a heart attack while in custody. Toxicology reports state that Smith, a felon with extensive criminal history, had acute levels of cocaine in his system. Bodycam footage also shows Smith resisting arrest for more than eight minutes before finally being handcuffed. Police and paramedics on scene were facing charges of negligent homicide, but they were dropped. The family's legal representatives say they want justice, and the City of Columbus is now facing a $5m wrongful death lawsuit.

Contrary to popular belief, the ghetto lottery can be won by any individual regardless of race or ethnicity. As long as you have contempt for law and order, your ticket can be secured.
