Your Definition
A person, gender non-specific, who uses the low income nature of the ghetto for their own self defined reasons. The 'hood' nature of this noun can refer to clothing that is contemporary to urban culture. Hooded shirts or coats have a definitive logo nature to the fashion of these people, but in no way means they are definitely wearing a hooded piece of fashion. The rat aspect of these individuals can refer to their self centered need to gain either material or social gains. Scurrying through cultures taking anything they can to obtain a status that means something to their center of the universe mentality. Can be verb-a-tised to refer to their actual actions. Nationality and ethnicity have no bearing on who can be called a 'hood rat'. Wealthy or poor, hood rats can easily be spotted by their actions but hard to spot sometimes because of their ability to disguise and hide behind actions and objects obtained by being selfish and cruel to others.
