What does it mean to be TRENCHES?!?!

Lately, I've adopted the use of the word "Trenches" into my vocabulary. The word was introduced to me by a great sister, mentor, and friend by the name of Leslie Avery, who is H-Town born and raised. Here's an example of how I use it. "That man has 30in rims on a Dodge Charger? TRENCHES" "Oh you have a 2 bedroom/ 2 bath garden apartment for $385 per month?!?! TRENCHES!.

Many people have began to ask me where did I discover this word? Also, what does it mean? So journey with me as I take you through the valley into the land of The Trenches!

The Trenches is what I call most "Hood" areas nowadays. For example, Trevitt Heights, East Haven, aspects of the Linden area have become or are considered trenches. The term basically refers to something that isn't of the highest quality. What is even more interesting is that there are some people walking on earth living with a "Trenches Mentality". When someone's mental state is trench you will find them suffering from the following:

• Scammer/Fraud Characteristics
• Lying for no aparent reason
• Settling for the mediocre
• Childish
  
• professionally GHETTO
• Overly Prideful
• Failing to take ownership
• Not well kept
• Out of order finances and priorities
  

Those are just a few things. Ok someone isn't understanding so let me call out the list. If you are 30, and you are still at the club faithfully for 1st Fridays, Mid-month mixer, end of the month jams etc, but you aren't in a higher tax bracket and you are a slave to your credit card lenders...TRENCH!

Fellas: If you're wife, who is ride or die for you, but makes makes your salary look like play money and you don't appreciate her and then you say you can pull someone else with your play money... chances are you are TRENCH

Have an 09 Dodge Charger with 28in rims and your address is located in an area similar to 8th and Summit Ave.... TRENCH

Ladies: Still wearing that plastic jewelry.... TRENCH

Complaining about not having a good man or a man period however your marketing strategy is to be Lil' Kim but want to be treated like Faith Evans.... have a seat you are... TRENCH

Oh there is no dishwasher or central air unit in this house.... TRENCH

Again this is just a brief introduction on what it means to be Trenches or have a Trenches Mentality. Now if you find yourself addressed in this blog post, please don't be offended there is hope for you. You don't have to be TRENCHES your whole life, well unless you choose to be! Peace and Love people, Peace and Love!
