The term 'ratchet' has no less than two distinct meanings. As an adjective, it describes a person or activity that is out of hand, out of control, or generally whack in some way. As a verb, or a direct object ("do tha ratchet, yeah, do tha ratchet..."), the term serves to identify or describe the dance craze--and the movements associated herewith-- of the Ratchet.
"...The President, he ratchet,and Saddam, mane/ His ratchet @$$ ain't have to send them <expletive> planes..."

After reading John Robbins book " Diet For A New America" and educating herself about the detrimental impact animal agriculture has on not only the lives of animals but also our oceans, lakes, rainforests, topsoil, air quality and the health of human beings, Lisa made the very altruistic and gutsy decision to become a vegan.
