Mr. Ratchet

Noun: defining a man with no shame, Usually of the muscular nature, he'll be the first one to have your back in a bar fight or the first one "take one for the team" and have sex with the ugly girl of the group! This guy is not to be messed with since his actions suggest he has nothing to lose!

Don't fuck with Mr. Ratchet, that dudes mental!
