ghettofly

Is an unofficial, one word slang -- expression that is used by some law enforcement departments and/or its officers. The expression identifies the existence and use of some type of video surveillance equipment, and may refer to one or many video surveillance cameras.

Typically the video surveillance equipment is mounted in a stationary position within any area that is well known for repeated criminal/felony activity. A ghettofly (surveillance camera) is seen many times in, but not limited to, a ghetto.

The expression can also be associated with an aerial video fly over by law enforcement. See the definition for the two word entry ghetto fly.

"11-8, 123 Any Street, ghettofly!" - (Loosely Translated: Person down, at or near the address, 123 Any Street, video surveillance equipment is located within the area, and review of video tape may hold information regarding a possible crime).

"King airborne, ghettofly!" - (Loosely Translated: A law enforcement helicopter is in the air and video taping).

Ghettology 

The art of being ghetto. Making short cuts, that may not seem to work but do indeed work. For example, lifting a 500 pound engine with zip ties. Wiring up a car with house wire.

In order to make a 240 sx a skyline, you have to earn a degree in ghettology.

ghettoblaster 

A boombox, a portable stereo system capable of playing radio stations or recorded music at relatively high volume.

Ghettoblaster is a term that can be considered insulting or complimentary depending on the context. The word originated in the US, apparently reflecting the belief that they are popular in poor inner-city neighborhoods (ghettos), especially those populated by black Americans. Ghettoblaster rather than boom box became the common term in the UK and Australia for large portable stereos, perhaps because it carried less meaning.

The term carries a connotation of power and disregard of social rules.

The word is racially inflammatory in some circumstances but has also been embraced as a term of black, urban pride — and, like many such terms, has been adopted by parts of the non-black American community. It is used as the name of at least one magazine and one recording company, and is also a popular stereotype element typically associated with funk, hip-hop and rap, African-American culture, '70s and '80s culture, breakdancing, and even racist jokes.

In the film Do The Right Thing by Spike Lee, a dispute over a ghettoblaster is a central role in the culminating riot.
