Person/peoples who takes "ratchet" to a whole other level, meaning they are beyond dirty, nasty, and/or ugly. They are foul to the fullest extent, and they rep their foulness with loud, boisterous pride.
It can be used to target a specific individual:
"Calm the fuck, you fucking ratchepotamus."
It can be used for an outta pocket situation:
"She is so wrong for that! On the real, she's a straight up ratchepotamus"
It can be used for a whole group of fired up ratchets:
"Somebody tell these ratchepotami to calm the fuck down."
When one is so bad, or ratchet looking, that all they can be compared to is a pool of ratchet-ness.

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.
This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"
FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
