Zero to Ghetto
When under pressure or stress, quickly cranking up your attitude and defensive posture to way over the top, well beyond what the situation calls for. Arm waving and finger pointing may be utilized to increase the effect. Usage is frequently associated with a short time interval (see example, below).
- "Bro, did you see her reaction to that barista at Starbuck's?."
- "Whoa, Zero to Ghetto in .2 seconds, yo."
- "Whoa, Zero to Ghetto in .2 seconds, yo."
