/Sounds like "GEH" (as in "get") + "toh" (as in "toll")/
A marginal urban neighborhood or low-income area with its own unwritten rules, far from economic power and with little access to services. Across Latin America gueto is also used as an adjective for something rough, raw, or street-level in style. Growing up in the gueto often becomes a source of pride as much as hardship.
“I grew up in a rough neighborhood and learned more there than in any classroom.”
“That area has its own unwritten code that outsiders just don't get.”
