ratchet

disgusting female -- original source is likely a corruption of "rat shit." Ratchet is a much more substantial insult than "bitch" or "ho," and much more likely to give offense or be considered a "fighting" word.

ratchet

Something undesirable, ghetto, or a hot ass mess in general. Nobody wants to be around someone that's ratchet. They tend to like surfing and videotaping jokes that aren't funny.

ratchet

Originally used for a tool for screwing in objects. Ratchet refer to someone who is ignorant, uneducated, selfish, and destructive. These creatures are often seen as scum to a society. They act like a complete jackass thinking they are "all that". Most listen to rap music post 2012. Often seen wearing Beats or Jordans. It's catchphrase is the n-word. They are often destroying our youth. Their natural habitat is the outskirts where crime is high and so is poverty. Most of them spend money toward fashion instead of good food and a college tuition, so their nutritional value comes from fast food. Yes, they do make racial stereotypes seem true.
