Ratchet

Ratchet means "rat shit ghetto." This term originated amongst many Deep South rappers - namely a song by Lil Boosie called "Do Tha Ratchet"on a 2006 album called "United We Stand, Divided We Fall," but had been in other Boosie mixtapes.

Ratchet refers to generally being from the ghetto.

When found on the carpet, a sign you may have a rodent infestation.
I stopped hiding corpses behind the wall panelling when I started to notice all the ratchet oozing out of the cracks.

Ratchet

A substitute word to describe a Sleezy, easy, desperate, slut, hoe, whore, prostitute, trog, thirsty knob gobbler, type of person from the straight or LBGTQ community. Its true definition is meant to describe a tool. But can correlate to such slang as in the tool can go both ways, latches onto various size bolts/nuts and inserting or removing them from/in holes. A ratchet doesn't discriminate from big or small, lose or tight. Like i said, they come in all different shapes and sizes, and are readily available for consumers to purchase, use, keep or discard, loan to friends or family, and even sell. Its a slut who gives no fucks but actually breaths, eats, showers, and shits nothing but dick,pussy; &/or ass juice as a hobby, work requirement , & religious/ scientific purposes (so its actually a load of fucks.) Dont judge a ratchet, they are just active people in the community living day by day. And one day they will be there for you! Orrr at least for a couple hours 🤭

Ratchet ass hoe

Ratchets are tools. The reference is specifically talking about burglary tools or tools of the drug game or guns. Girls that like to use them to do hood rat shit with their man who they are complete sluts for are ratchet ass hoes. Like Joker and Harley Quinn.
I’m just looking for a ratchet ass hoe to ride for me.

Ratchet

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.
