Darur is slightly fed up right now. I can understand people ususing the term "ghetto" to describe things of poor quality or worksmanship (although I think its stupid), but after hearing people use the term "ghetto" to describe their GRADES about 40 times today, I am finding the term irksome. Firstly, why of all the terms use "ghetto"? People calling things like their clothes economically depressed districts just doesnt work. Secondly, WE DONT EVEN HAVE A GHETTO IN HAWAII! My god, the closest thing to a ghetto we have is in the heart of Kahului (main city) which consists of a few old worn down houses. How did this term even make it here? Hell, a few weeks ago the school's weekly brodcast consisted of a 15 minute segment called "Ghetto my ride".  /rant (P.S - I do not have any problems with ghettos or their residents, just the way the term is used is irriitating to me0 ------------- Real Men play Tuba [IMG]http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/1859/newsmall6xz.jpg"> PH33R TEH 1337 Dwarf! http://www.tippmann.com/forum/wwf77a/log_off_user.asp" rel="nofollow - DONT CLICK ME!!1 |

Well it is a Pop culture slang that has gone far beyond its intended audience. Your absolutely right. Dont worry in a few months it will completely be gone and a new word will be used.
Holla! -------------

WEWT!!! let's all get together and comlain about something we have no control over. but on a serious note, it's just a fad... our entire culture has become more "ghetto" and more slang has become acceptable. sad to watch society take the downnhill spiral, but it's happening and there's not much we can do about it... -------------

Has anybody else ever wondered if **edited**s think about after school?
Cause I mean if your a **edited** what the hell do you do after school..
Hardly any go to college. And If you keep acting like a **edited** after
school than you are a very sad person.

Like it will change. White people who try to be black just plain out
piss me off. Expecially at work, they come up and are like, "SUP man,
gimme uh, **edited** dude, uh, gimme like two chick fil a sandwitches and uh,
YO Chaqueta what the hell do you want!, and gimme a "biggie sized"
sprite." Why can't they just **edited**ing say.... "Hey man, give me two chicken sandtiwthces and a large spirte, alright thanks." It would make my life so much easier. -------------

Language changes. Deal. Most of the expressions you use daily started out as something different entirely. "Ghetto", of course, used to mean "place where the Jews live." Neat, cool, bad - all former ebonics that we now embrace. Gotta go with the change. |

The term "ghetto" is used in replacment of certain words and phrases like "that's or it's ghay, oh that sucks, that is or it's weak, cheaply made or done" and the only way yer fellow Hawaiians got wind of the term Darur is from people that are visiting or have family from the mainland or vise versa, where the term "ghetto" originated....so quit trippin brah and take a chill pill...hell, this forum is gettin more and more ghetto than a check cashing line on welfare day! Or you can blame us Californians.....we started the ghetto thang! Ya heard! ------------- Do not steal....the government hates competition!
