Concreature

Noun. Popularized by Detroit rapper Boldy James, "concreature" combines the words "con," "concrete," and "creature" to emphasize the lowest state of existence (literally being criminal--"con" or "convict," base level--"concrete," and being a "creature" --not even resembling a wild animal).

This portmanteau is self explanatory, but carries many negative connotations in its use. "Con" represents being an actual criminal. "Concrete" literally conveys being on concrete or gravel, similar to an unwanted weed growing in the cracks of the sidewalk or a drug dealer making sales on his assigned corner. It also represents literal ground level.

"Creature" not only represents something that is sub-human, but it also represents something that is literally created through the circumstances of its existence.

A "concreature" represents the lowest level of existence that was created by an inequitable society that allowed an entire city to rot and fail due to racism, classicism, unfettered capitalism, crime, and political corruption.

Concreature: "We got the drug-free school zone high."

Average person: "You're a grimy ass concreature."
