STILL ON A CACTUS ROLL. I am well known for my inability to turn away an orphan plant. I even go searching for them. Our local Lowes has a reduced table and if I am in the area I always stop in to take a look. In the past I have found some very nice plants on that table and I get satisfaction for restoring them to good health. However, if this week I was thinking about reducing the number of potted plants I have, all thoughts were out of my head today when I espied these cactus on the $1 table.
Figure 1: A ratchet featuring gear (1) and pawl (2) mounted on base (3). A ratchet is a mechanical device that allows continuous linear or rotary motion in only one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction. Ratchets are widely used in machinery and tools. Though something of a misnomer, ratchet is also often used to refer to ratcheting socket wrenches, a common tool with a ratcheting handle.
No Tabs. The meaning of the slang word 'Ratchet' is subjective. Ratchet has been used by many artists in their songs, and the meaning tends to differ from artist to artist. Itâs mostly used in the hip hop culture, some have used âratchetâ as a positive word, and others as a defamatory word.The word is often mistaken as coming from the word âwretchedâ which means someone whoâs miserable and has poor character.hough different artists put different meaning behind the word ratchet in their songs, majority of the public uses the word in more of a defamatory way to describe any women whom are deemed to be ghetto, lack values and morals, dirty, annoying, etc..
