Is it Ghetto to back your Z in?

No, I dont think so. Actually, I would have never thought that until I read this post hahah. I back in when I can because the rear is higher up than the front lip of my car...

This is precisely why I back in a lot of the times. Those stupid parking curbs are going to be the bane of my existence.

There is one time when I would say that backing in is ghetto: on a street with diagonal parking. I see this every once in a while... Definitely ghetto.

2. (formerly, in most European countries) a section of a city in which all Jews were required to live.

adjective
5. pertaining to or characteristic of life in a ghetto or the people who live there: ghetto culture.
6. Often Disparaging and Offensive. noting something that is considered to be unrefined, low-class, cheap, or inferior: Her furniture is so ghetto!

i don't even see how you can apply "ghetto" as an adjective to backing into a space? it doesn't make any sense.

It would be a characteristic of life in a ghetto or the people who live there.

I just use my factory back up camera. I'd rather not try to accidentally scrape my front
end on those cement parking blocks.

I've seen so many people eat these things badly.
