An otherwise nice automobile that has been either neglected, beaten up, poorly maintained, or has fallen victim to tasteless modification not befitting the original car.
"Check out the classic 911 over there, so awesome"
-"Dude, it looks good from here but we had it in the shopyesterday. It leaks like a sieve, rust underneath, and someone tracked the heck out of it a while back... straight ratball"
A descriptive word for whathappens if one falls at the top of a hill - or loses one's nerve - and slides in a vaguely controlled manner on one's bottom all the way to the end. Also can be used as a verb, as in "ratballing."
I accidently found myself on a black diamond ski run and decided to ratball my way to the bottom.
As we were descending from the mountain, we ran into a patch of loose rock, and decided to ratball rather than risk falling.
