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.

Situationally Ghetto 

The state or condition of being considered ghetto due to one's current situation, often involving finances or relationships. Very much akin to being a honorary ghetto.
Guy1: Heather lives in a nice neighborhood, whats the deal with the beanie, spinner rims and bottle of forty?

Guy2: She's low on cash and going through some shit, she'll pull through it though.

Guy1: So she's... situationally ghetto?

The grindset is a contemporary ideology of self-exploitation disguised as strength, deeply tied to the aesthetics of the “sigma male” and to new digital forms of patriarchy. It promotes the idea that human worth depends on productivity, economic success, absolute emotional control, and the ability to work endlessly, turning vulnerability, rest, community, and tenderness into signs of weakness. Beneath its rhetoric of discipline and power often lies a profound inability to relate healthily to pain, fragility, and human interdependence.
“That’s the grindset, brother. While weak men sleep and complain, sigma males stay disciplined, work in silence, suppress emotions, and build power while everyone else wastes time chasing comfort.”

An Irish phrase meaning shit, derived from ass
(Not to be confused with the literal description of one's buttocks)
"Did you hear the song Aylek$ dropped?"
"Hardly. Her music is absolute cheeks."

"My boyfriend say LaFlame is cheeks."
"Tell your boyfriend I said it's his mixtape that's cheeks."
