Combination of “frat” and “ratchet.” Describes the typical attire of a frat daddy, i.e. the
combination of a Hawaiian shirt with Chubbies and Sperrys. For some odd reason, fraternities have now turned to wearing tacky printed button down shirts, once reserved for balding middle-aged men, with shorts so short that they could be mistaken for a gay man from a distance.
Concerning the last component of the new fratastic outfit, many a frat daddy have probably never even stepped foot on a boat, thus making the Sperry’s wet deck shoe traction aspect useless. This new trend has spiraled out of all control and is currently holding fashion hostage, thus making it uniquely ratchet: fratchet.
