Ghetto situations

Typical circumstances in the 'hood, such as a prevention of a small service due to a late fee.

Another definition is a dramatic situation that's uncommon, but it happens in the 'hood. For example, being late to a late shift due to a shooting.
Person 1: Ay, hit me up.
Person 2: Ghetto situations; Expecting my check, plus my phone bill is about $200.00, mang. Add me on the space, though.

Boss: What makes you late today? An emergency? However, I received your call, so you're excused.
Employee: It was a ghetto situation. On my way to work, there were sirens everywhere after a shooting. It was due to an argument over some loaded dice.

You think me an old fogeyand an old tory, his thoughtful voice said. I saw three generations since O’Connel’s time. I remember the famine. Do you know that the orange lodges agitated for repeal of the union twenty years before O’Connel did or before the prelates of your communion denounced him as a demagogue? You fenians forget some things. (James Joyce, Ulysses. Penguin Books,1992. p. 38)
