ratchet pilled

To be ratchet pilled is to have been so thoroughly exposed to, entertained by, or immersed in ratchet culture that you've accepted it as a valid and actually kind of necessary part of life. Once you're ratchet pilled you no longer clutch your pearls at drama — you lean in, you get your popcorn, and you understand that the messy, loud, unfiltered side of human behaviour is genuinely compelling content. People often become ratchet pilled after spending enough time on certain corners of social media or in friend groups where chaos is the norm.
