As I sit her with lips out mad at Phil for running late ~gotta go dockder mahn~

I checked my PMs and I had one asking me about the term "ghetto." I asked them if I could explain on the frontline, being, if they wanted to know MAYBE someone else does too....they said YES....but we agreed to keep the identity sealed because someone else asked them to ask me LOL

~I am not the big bad wolfette....please feel free to ask me anything~

GHETTO--- I divide this into 3 groups: ghetto mentality, ghetto in general, and the hood

the hood is YOUR place...where you live....online BAF is our hood
ghetto....every hood has a ghetto....with ghetto being the area in which you live....a place of in the city (I feel the term she is "ghetto" is a stereotype...I don't like stereotypes)
ghetto mentality.....ones way of thinking (Note: you don't have to live in a hood in the ghetto to have a ghetto mentality)

For me, a hood is going to rep their hood, on OH, if the Main board or R&R cyberfight BAF, BAF gonna come in and rep their hood (BAF)....no matter how much BAF fights among BAF, no one else can degrade your hood!  The love shows and pours....

In real life, in your hood, ain't nobody coming to your hood with no schitt without getting jumped and put the **** out! You rep your hood. But you know to ack like you got sense when you to someone else's hood.

I see it as in the hood, win Ms Sally husband died and she ain't got no money, Ms Agnes n'em gonna throw a BBQ with 99 cent hotdogs and feed errybody, just so Ms Sally won't feel bad cos we know she ain't da kind to ax fah help....see, Miz Sally she strong on herrh pride and all!

In my hood, Pookie lost his job AGAIN. Well, you know he got his baby momma and dey 5 kidz to feed, but Pookie don't tek handouts and hand me downs! So you daddy invite  him ova to da pool hall for drinks and such.  Dey sipping beer, wings, and cawn likka....daddy order up some pork cracklins and wings....bunches of 'em....juss so Pookie can take'em home, but while daddy doing dat, Momma done already satisified the bellies of Pookie's baby momma and her five kids!

Ghetto mentality....the white man keeping me down, I can't get a job...PLEASE, ain't nothing wrong with cooking fries and flipping burgers, 'specially if yo asse juss borrowed five of my ten dollas; okay!

Ghetto mentality.....I gotta have John, Peter, and Paul baby...when you know each one of'em got 5 baby mommas and they don't tek care of none'of'em! You spitting out babies like a momma rat, polluting my hood!

Any questions?

Dedee you are a mess!!  But I lubs you anyway.  Can I borrow the whole ten and not half?!!  LOL!! 

Ok let me ask you this....do you consider this ghetto?

I call my sister the ghetto princess; because she's LOUD!!  And doesn't care.  I am loud also but I do have some tact (or I try too..LMAO).  A few years ago when those Nike boots were out; you know the ones they came in black or white and had the gold swoosh.  I told my sister I wanted a pair and this girl walked by us with them on; and I told my sister to look.  Now we are in the parking lot..My sister says HEY HEY HEY!!  I LIKE YO BOOTS!!! While she was hollering I was walking away like I didn't know her!!

Girl, that is so not ghetto LOL

People relate loud with GHETTO....there are loud everywhere!

I am very loud and boisterous at times....like when watching boxing or the CLEVELAND game last night LOL

But to me, that does not mean GHETTO, it means you are loud and boisterous! LOL
