@gorillasam generally it's used as a term to describe an area (or person, but that's rude) when it's run down and pretty crappy/ dirty
"My old neighborhood was pretty ghetto"

@annamforev I get it, thanks tho.
One of my American co-teachers used 'ghetto' to describe her own work, which was a bit crappy according to her. I know that the specific areas, ghetto as well but is it ok for me to say 'I cooked some for dinner but it's ghetto' or 'I just made my paper work ghetto'?

@gorillasa it's probably best not to use it. You should use "poor" instead. Like how you cooked something tasting poorly or writing a poor paper. Ghetto has become slang.
