Answer 2

depending on how it is used ie, "you are ghetto" loud or obnoxious. " you look ghetto" can mean hoochie or street in the way you are dressed thugged out or gangsta if you're a guy. or where a person is from usually classified as a lower class minority area with high foot traffic (lots of people coming and going), you see the police in and out of these areas alot, and the area has signs boasting drug free community (this is usually where you find the most drug users and / or sellers). It is not a compliment to be called ghetto. (just so you know) if it were there wouldn't be so many people telling stories or so many rappers saying how they made it from the ghetto slingin dope and shooting people to how they are now ridin big with all these cribs and cars on '24's or '26's.

Italian ghetta (slags)), and referred to the area of the Cannaregio sestiere, the site selected for the Ghetto Nuovo where an iron foundry cooled the slags (campo gheto). It was later applied to neighborhoods in other cities where Jews were required to live. The corresponding German term was Judengasse; in Moroccan Arabic ghettos were called mellah.
