there’s a very pronounced difference between the adjectives “hood“ and “ghetto” and their respective connotations. for many, hood is a state of mind…a practical, unpretentious and, at times, hilariously resourceful way of doing things born from sheer necessity (think erykah badu).
ghetto, on the other hand, describes blatantly ignant and uncouth actions (think random unmarried hoodrat with three kids by three different fathers. in other words…think erykah badu again)
tims in the summertime is hood. musty, but hood.
tims at the prom is disgustingly ghetto
chicken places that serve chicken with things that chicken traditionally doesn’t go with (waffles, pancakes, oysters, midgets) are very hood.
chicken places that run out of chicken at 7pm because they’re done cooking for the night, even though they close at 11 are ghetto (is this just a pittsburgh thing? please tell me that it is. please tell me that the kfc’s and popeyes in other places in the country actually still allow you to purchase chicken 5 hours before closing)
despite having no literary skills whatsoever, writing a well selling book about your sexual exploits as a video vixen is actually pretty hood
being named “supahead” and actually allowing yourself to be referred to as supahead is the epitome of ghettoness. in fact, the name “supahead” in itself is so ghetto, that anything associated with it (including bill maher) becomes ghetto by osmosis.
using a spades game as a viable double dating and/or hook-up opportunity is definitely hood
writing “big” and “little” in big ass black letters with a marker on the jokers because your dumb ass cant remember which is which, is ghetto
The comments are laugh out loud funny! :lmao:
