I am ashamed to say this, as everyone has posted such lovely arcane words, but: "ratchet" My younger cousin recently said it to me, in the form of "That's sooo ratchet!" or something. It's a wrench? What are you trying to communicate here? I was super confused, like the old fogey I am (guess that happens upon graduating high school). Someone explained it as basically being a twisted version of "wretched," indicating poor quality. Alrighty then. I'll have to figure out how to adroitly fit my favourite recently learned word into this discussion.
