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!

slick ratchets

N. A female who uses deception to slyly avoid you seeing any images of her while slipping her way into your text messages or DMS(twitter) to start a conversation with you.

This usually results in you finding out she is ratchet as all fuck by her either sending a picture, snapchat, or using facetime to contact you.

Situations with these people can be humorous to others so they are often screenshotted and posted on twitter for others to enjoy.

Dale: "yo this gurl bout to send me a pic wanna see if she sexy"

Blake: "hell yea nigga"

Dale: "damn she's ratchet as fuck look at this"

Blake: "slick ratchets these days slidin in the dms like its nothing!!!"
