Ratchet

The term ratchet, from a derogatory sense of the term, stems from drug use. A "ratchet" in slang usually refers to someone who is "ghetto", unkept, and unable to keep steady work. It's particularly derogatory towards lower class women. However it's use first comes from deep drug addiction where "ratchet" refers to someone (more often a woman apparently) that got into the grips of drug addiction from a drug dealer. We all have seen the faces of meth and what drug addiction can do to the body and face. So that's where its roots come from. Ratchet then became popularized with the musical genre Trap, a kind of instrumental electronic music with influences from "dirty south" rap. So from the recesses of drug addiction to pop culture and morphed into people who just can't take care of themselves.

Ratchet

A ratchet is the male piece of a tool used to loosen up nuts and bolts.

The corresponding female piece of the tool being a socket.
When this term is used to describe a female, it isn't so different.

It isn't about being ghetto, or obnoxious.
It's about being the type of female who doesn't have enough self respect to not allow herself to be used as a tool to loosen a nut.
A "ratchet ass bitch" will always pick up the phone no matter how many times a dude disrespects her or is blatantly only interested in using her to bust a nut.

Regardless of how awful or shitty he treats and clearly views her, she will always continue to let dudes treat her in such away because as mentioned before she has no self respect.
