Q:
What does this is so ratchet mean?
A:
Ratchet is a recent slang word that started in the US. As urban dictionary says (a dictionary for slang words you won’t find in a proper dictionary), It comes from “A ghetto-dialect mispronunciation of the English term "wretched". ..”
It’s used to refer to someone, often a girl, who looks bad, sometimes obese, very poor, and scraggly looking in general.
Just as fair warning, this word can be a racial stereotype, as if you use it all over place without care, you’re likely to insult someone and provoke them, whether from the blatant insult that inherently comes with calling someone ratchet, or the fact that you used it in an inappropriate situation.
“This is so ratchet” specifically means the situation is crappy, probably poorly planned, and is all around bad, or rough.
