GHETTO-TAINMENT

A specific subset of entertainment, Ghetto-Tainment refers to forms of entertainment that are found primarily, though not exclusively, in poor, largely African American communities (generally referred to by authors, scholars and historians as ghettos) that suffer from a lack of jobs and thus have a need to find ways to entertain themselves in their spare time.

People in the community often remark that "idle hands are tools of the Devil".

This is a unique culture that has developed in the so-called "Hood", to use a popular slang term.

They do, on increasingly common occasions,"take the show on the road" in order to foster better relations with all colors, creeds, and nations.

Regular performances are easy to find, especially if you are an urban dweller.

They often perform in malls, theatres, schools, and open air street venues, and even airports for larger presentations of their cultural entertainment practices.

They also often travel to restaurants, fast food joints, stores of all kinds, and even libaries and churches when the number of entertainers is limited to less than 25.

If a public or even private space exists, increasingly popular Ghetto-Tainment will find it sooner or later.

You can even find no or low cost personal family visits from experienced, trained, professional Ghetto-tainers who just love to share with you at home, at school, at work, or even when you're at Fenway Park.
My brother took me to McDonalds for a late dinner after a long day and we were pleasnatly surprized to unexpectedly enjoy some Ghetto-Tainment.

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
