Answer 3

ghetto is a district of a city or town where the poorest people live.  

to look "ghetto" is to dress or to present yourself  as if you live in a ghetto.  it can be rapper style clothing, gang-member style clothing.

or many other types of clothing, but definitely not preppy or high fashion type .

Answer 4

okay so i've read most of your responses ....all wrong... ghetto-used  as an adjective to describe the picture itself is an insult,... if  the pic looks ghetto hopefully they are describing photography poor quality. if they are speaking of the individual in the picture the same applies but to more areas of ones life,i.e uneducated,thief,thug,no style fashion,... no class... basically they are judging you by the pic youve chosen. first impressions are lasting although they may not know you

Answer 5

A usually poor section of a city inhabited primarily by people of the same race, religion, or social background, often because of discrimination.

Answer 6

first its spelt Ghetto. The "Ghetto" is usually where there are lots of gangs and gang violence. Also it meens something cool sometimes.

Answer 7

no no no.... when I say something or somebody looks ghetto I mean they look kinda "gansta"... but not in a good way! Guys who dress ghetto wear lots of fake jewerly, pants hanging off their ***, baggy jeans and shirts, maybe a doo rag or ball cap thats not worn the right way.. Girls who look ghetto wear big hoop earings, tight clothing, high heels... basically right out of a rap video!

Ghetto look is just not a clean, sofisticated look... its a little trashy. SOrry! :(
