Meaning someone or something is
nasty or
evil. Derived from the word "Wretched." Since black people couldn't pronounce the word correctly it turned into "Ratchet." Not to be confused with the tool. The word is usually only used by ghetto black people who don't have an
education. If a white person uses the word they are talking about the tool.
