Answer 3

Doubt it.

Not sure what a hood rat is, but a house rat is someone who rarely comes out of his/her house.

Answer 4

A house rat is someone who stays in the house. A hood rat is a ho ho. No. The Jamaican word for hood rat is skettel.

N.B. Contrary to a previous answerer, not all ghetto girls are skettels.

Answer 5

First off in America a hood rat and a house rat means totally different. in america a hood rat is a ghetto person and a house rat is some who does not go anywhere out of the house. So in Jamaica a hood rat is pretty much a ghetto person too and we call a " skettel". And a house rat is pretty much someone who does not have any outside fun outside of the house.

Answer 6

No, a house rat is a homebody not a hood rat. A hood rat would be a ghetto girl or a skettel.

Answer 7

A House Rat (here in the U.S) is a person that's always at someones house (mostly unwelcomed) who eat, sleep, drink, or nest there until you run them out.  A Hood Rat is a female that's down with her life, no guy is a stranger to her anatomy and etc.  Most low life guys in the Neighborhood is no better.

Answer 8

A hood rat in Jamaica is a skettel !

That means a girl who is low and don't have any values to herself. Kind of like a hoe.
