I don't know about 2 of the things on your list... The whole sucking teeth and ya'll thing is "cultural" - However, what's ghetto is not knowing that there is a time and place for everything...

lady lynxx- my novel is out now! said:

OMG this is making me laugh so hard!

Ghetto is those awful fake nails with mad designs and diamante crystals on them! YUK!

Grillz in your mouth

Sucking teeth (or sometimes called kissing teeth) loudly or even at all

Not knowing who the father of the child is

Calling the father of your child the 'baby daddy' if you are not married

Not wanting to better yourself in life or appearance but you expect a baller to pick you up and take you out of the hood. Bish please!

Never speaking with correct english (i.e. having y'all and ain' in every single sentence!)
I cringe everytime I hear lil mama speak on america's best dance crew! She always says y'all! Arrrgh!

Stupid fake lashes - girlfriend they look soooo fake!

Slapped on weaves...gives decent weave wearers like myself a bad name!

Butt clevage with tattoo showing! YUK!

Popping gum loudly in public

Chewing food with your mouth open

Your babies running around looking dirty, hair not combed and nappy sagging off their behinds

Ridiculously large rims on cars

Buying a car when you are still at home with your mama (male or female over 30! Get out of your mama's house and get your own place dammit!)

That's all for now folks!

Just experienced this one and had to share..

Pulling up to the drive thru window.. Not being greeted because the gyrl at the window is patting her weave while yelling; "Imma put that in next month when I go to Black Beach! Im going to Daytona". *SMDH*

Your three years old having fucked up credit.

Oddles and Noodles are considered a meal.

Talking mad shit on the 1st and the 15th.

Dirty baby strollers. Two in the seat and one in the back basket and none are twins.

Letting your 2 year old rock a due rag and fitted<< I hate this one.

Rent being $150 a month or less and your always late. But you have the latest what ever.

Grandmothers rocking baby phat bombers with pink Timbos.

Grandfathers singing Arab money as a motto.

Saying the baby isn't mine because I don't have dark babies.

Going on Maury 2 or more times. Being on Maury period!

Going to church only on Easter Sunday to floss your new outfit.

Wearing those colorful Jordans or A1's that you bought off of the side of the road.

Wearing an outfit with logo's all over it.

Wearing a fake iced out watch and it falls off while your dancing in the club.

Giving your baby a bottle with any type of red drank that you've diluted with water and their under the age of 1.

Your 5yr old knows how to "shake dance" (stripper style), but can't read a lick!

Ghetto would be the new people who moved into my neighborhood posing in front of their new truck... With matching Rims and Grillz (on their teefus) Buying a vehicle does not mean photo-op is all I'm saying...

And, like those white folks up in the Mountains that give their babies Mountain Dew in a bottle and wondering why all of their teeth are rotten... THAT'S GHETTO.

all the little boys at the playground following the 6yrs old girl with the short and Winnie the Pooh shirt tied in a knot in the back, she then stops by a pole over by the slides to make it bounce, then proceeds to do a pole dance and is good at it :-\

Your two year old can't talk but can dance his ass off.

Your auntie trying to jump the repo man for touching "her car" that she haven't paid a note for in over 6months.
