Re: Phrases you hate

All I've ever heard it used non-mechanically is phrases like "ratchet up the tension" to describe pushing the tension in a scene or a situation higher.

Ratchet certainly is used in that context, but I think you might have missed out on the alternative use that been going around for the past few years: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ratchet (notice that most of the definitions involve the use of calling someone "ghetto" which is code for "black")

Then if it is such a rare alternative use, it's likely that a lot of people don't know what it means or that it's misogynistic/racist.

ayrt

I wouldn't really call it rare exactly. I've heard it fairly often irl, on the internet and even in songs. People who use it as slang know what the implications are since the very definition is something that is "ghetto" or "trashy" and is usually applied towards women.
