Keeping with the tradition of new words which are more representative of the overseas south asian vibe, I am announcing a new word: GhettoStani.
Main Entry: ghet·to.stani.i
Pronunciation: ‘ge-(“)tO-stan-ee
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural ghettostanis
Etymology: Hinglish, from Hindi and ebonics, a south asian who loves hip-hop, dresses like a thug, blasts rap music in his souped up Hindu Accord, and loves to go to desi-parties with his giggas
