Ok so I live in Georgia and in Georgia many people use the term ratchet quite a bit , one day I saw people calling themselves "ratchets" and one day I heard someone say "Boy , you be such a ratchet" , I was amazed! I had rarely heard this term used but now everyone uses it! I don't , do you?

I say this topic ratchet...

Why ratchet? You see ratchet is a repair tool use to tighten and loosen things particularly nuts and bolts.

e use that term here in California. But to be honest the word ratchet is used in a bad way. In California being ratchet is definitely not a good thing. The slang term is becoming a little old but nonetheless it is not a good thing to be ratchet in california

Hmmmm , Nothing on my turf . I just know that hes an awesome Brown thing with his friend Clank :D ! (Ratchet & Clank) :P

well, erm, new and olf=d fads come by every day. i really didnt expect retchet to ever do anything like become a regular vocabulary erm but as it seems it has

? i always thought it was rachid... awell, it was a pretty old slang term, things like that travel fast

Never heard it used over here, but im guessing it means u have a screw lose (metaphorically)

Doesnt it mean a used tool?

Isn't it "wretched"?
Cause like the others, when I hear that word, a tool or a video game pops out inside my head

I've used the word ratchet plenty of times... while fixing my car, because that's a hand tool.

NO never heard this word before and dont even know what it is as its not used in my place

I've used this once when I asked my brother to pass me the ratchet so I could fix something other than the tool I don't know what the meaning is to this word "Ratchet".

Here in VA rachet means ghetto...?

im in georgia too and im not sure what is the right context but it is fun to say
