I guess what I mean is if you asked them with regard to the etymology... Ratchet is a word. It has a meaning highly disparate from "shitty." Like, it's a tool. A noun. It does things.

So kids using this word against its actual meaning, ask them why and they won't understand.

Like if I asked you why you were using the word ratchet (say yesterday), which is a tool that helps turn bolts, in place of the word "shitty" and you'd be all 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
