gentrification

Under equal rights with dynamic social classes, the massive improvement of a run-down urban area to the degree it is fit for gentlemen.

Thanks to gentrification, I no longer have to look at graffiti, step over urine and homeless people, and cling to pepper spray every time I walk here.

Gentrification

When someone crushes your beliefs and yes you can gentrify a culture.

Gentriffy

Pronounced jen-triff-ee; Roughly interpreted as "anti-semitism based on forgetting that jesus was in fact also a jew" but tends to be mistaken for "I believe it is nearly time for dinner," which is only the correct interpretation on Saturdays after sundown.
Generally the first interpretation is seen when defending against anti-semitism in regard to the belief that the jews were responsible for the death of Christ.

"I dunno man, wasn't it the jews that killed jesus?"
"That is some pretty serious gentriffy, are you anti-semetic or something?"

Gentriforming

Man, East London sure used to have less sunglasses wearing, cupcake eating cunts before the recent gentriforming.

Gentrifuck

An Urban Planning term for when the good intention of gentrification of a town, neighbourhood, city or any other area subject to gentrification goes horribly wrong either immediately after gentrification, or unintended consequences of gentrification over time.

"Oh look over there, that neighbourhood looks so fresh and so new"

"yes, but it has been gentrifucked, as the only people that can afford the rents are snobs, and the only stores that can afford the rent are corporations - mom and pop shops have dissapeared"
