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.

Ratcheteer 

Noun.

A connoisseur of ratchet women, especially those pulled from nightclubs after last call. The ratcheteer's natural mating call is Rihanna's Talk That Talk which he requests from the DJ or sits in the parking lot banging from his car. The Ratcheteer has a specialized mating dance, similar to a body roll, used to signal ratchets that he is in heat. He is especially adept at disposing of evidence in parking lots.

Once a ratcheteer has identified and brought his ratchet back from the club for an "afterparty" he seeks out four specific environments for mating:

1. A living room full of partygoers
2. A public balcony
3. Someones kitchen
4. An air mattress

The ratcheteer typically will have no recollection of the previous evening as they will sleep until noon the next day. They will only find out about their behavior once on word spreads of their ratchetry on social media websites. Ratcheteers will spend all Monday at work on Facebook deleting evidence so close friends and family do not discover their ratchetness.
Q. What time is it?
A. 1:57 AM.

Q. Did you see that guy parking lot creepin' on those ratchets?
A. Yes, he promised them soda and nuggets at his afterpary.

Q. He should be put on probation for ratcheteering son.
A. Fo sho. bboy.

Word of the Day on November 3, 2026
Brought to public attention by Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein in the book on the fall of Richard Nixon, All The President’s Men, ratfucker was Nixon’s term for a political operative who sows chaos among opponents; an agent provocateur. It is thought to have originated among campus political rivalries at USC, and seems to have some usage in the US military.
Along with Nixon’s other ratfuckers, Roger Stone caused fights at otherwise peaceful Democratic Party protests to generate a false narrative that the Democrats were violent and dangerous.
