The word "janky"

My theory on this word is that white people made it up so they could stop saying "ghetto," which they realized (or were told) was a racist term. But they mean "ghetto."
It's a niche thread. Bombs away.

Didn't happen. We still say ghetto because it's still a ghetto. Take your janky arse on outta here.

I don’t think they use janky to be less racist.
ETA: they are used to talk about 2 different things.

It's possible my theory holds no water.

Sounds like you're assigning your own racism to a term that isn't racist
Posted on 11/10/21 at 11:16 am to baybeefeetz
This is the first time for me to see this word. I think I’ll just keep using the word ghetto though.

The poster Janky is short, mad and bad at golf. Or so BRgetthenet said.

We don't have any ghettos where I live. I was giving directions yesterday and literally said, 'you know that old janky gas station by the UHaul place up north.'
Posted on 11/10/21 at 11:18 am to baybeefeetz
I still say ghetto. I don’t think it’s racist at all.
Posted on 11/10/21 at 11:21 am to baybeefeetz
I've heard a lot more black people use it than white people.

New level of victimhood.
When every term with a negative connotation is construed as racism. Clownsfeet is more like it.
