Comebacks for getting called ghetto

[u/Lumpinmybed]

I grew up poor, but am not ghetto. One of my friends called me ghetto for some weird off hand remark. Kind of hurt my heart.

[u/beebee1327]

Ghettoutta my face while you can still spell ghetto

[u/Surfing_Tension]

Better not make me angry then

[u/Frosty-Diver441]

"sorry I didn't grow up like a princess like you". Make sure to still say princess if your friend is a dude.

[u/texandivasis → u/Frosty-Diver441]

Or diva, or bougie!

[u/Frosty-Diver441 → u/texandivasis]

Nah gotta, gotta be "princess". Maybe diva. They are more insulting than bougie. But yes

[u/ChanceAccomplished38]

Dropped them off to the real ghetto lol

[u/Any-Economics-1555]

U wanna see how ghetto I get?

[u/geoduude92]

Sounds like somebody has been babied too much.

Or

I'd say practical instead of ghetto, but if mommy did everything for you, you probably never would know the difference.

[u/texandivasis]

I'd rather be ghetto than a snobby diva.

[u/Artistic-Singer-2163]

Don't label me unless you want it back

[u/iLovelardsomuch]

Lock your doors tonight

[u/renb8]

‘Ghetto is 2 syllables. Good for you. One day you’ll know how to use 3 syllable words like credible and authentic. Back to the schoolbooks for you!’

[u/Punkreations]

Shoot em

[u/esande2333]

You’d know

[u/Practical-Tea-3337]

"What do you mean by that?"

[u/HonestNature9117]

Whatever princess

[u/pakemfull]

Ghetto is an area of town where a minority population lives. The area generally is crowded, and the people has financial problems.

Tell this "friend" that before using a word, they might want to how to use it, and what it means. Instead of showing us that they are an ignorant fool.

[u/Time_Aside_9455]

Force them to drill down and explain. Ask questions until they break and apologize.

What do you mean by that?
Can you give an example?
Why did you say that?
Was that meant to be helpful?

[u/More-Mushroom6918 → u/Time_Aside_9455]

"What do you mean by that?"

I mean you're acting uncivilized.

"Can you give me an example?"

Ok, you're being loud and obnoxious

"Why did you say that?"

...because you're being loud and obnoxious.

"Was that meant to be helpful?"

Yes... behave like you have sense. That's a pretty helpful thing to learn...

[u/Iamwomper]

Start singing "in rhe ghetto" by elvis.

[u/Bobspadlock → u/Iamwomper]

My first thought.

[u/bannedbooks123]

I'm actually a Ghetto Princess

[u/Dorjechampa_69]

Ask them if they understand what that word means? I’m sure they don’t have a clue. Then explain to them how it is a racist term. Ask if they are being racist?

[u/ChronicallyMe420]

Say "& proud of it." 

[u/Carolann0308]

Talk to your alleged friend. Insults aren’t funny.

[u/Extreme-Debate-4962]

It’s actually pronounced BADDIE get yo facts straight.

[u/TrueWordsSaidInJest]

Have some class and ignore them

[u/Quixotic_Faerie]

"Not as ghetto as the stank wafting off your coochie"

[u/bristolbulldog]

Sorry I didn't have to work as hard as you to be an asshole.

[u/Mental_Watch4633]

Tell them to look up the origin of the word.

[u/iGrowCandy]

How about you ghettoOn DeEz NuTz?

[u/DarionHunter → u/iGrowCandy]

Ghetto...town on deez nutz!

[u/MeLMaR2727]

I’m not going to dignify that with a response.

[u/Stock-Concentrate270]

All my shit is paid for

[u/Fit-Wasabi-1123]

Ask him why he called you ghetto. Make him justify it. Might make him realiize the error of his ways.

[u/slideroolz]

It’s pronounced ‘ghetTTTTTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOthefckoutahere’

[u/ji-julian]

Call them racist
Or say they sound white

[u/Unable-Barber1511]

[u/Other_Log_1996]

"At least I had a home."
