I thought it was an AAVE corruption of “wretched”. Nurse Ratched was certainly that, but it didn’t derive from the character’s name. Urban Louisiana slang, more like.
Is teaching AAVE a thing anymore or did they decide it was racist? I can’t keep up. I know for a while there was an argument that teaching AAVE at schools was designed to entrench a kind of linguistic class ghetto, but then you also had the liberal “hecking valid” argument, and I’m not sure what the current party line is.
Nurse Ratchet has nothing to do with African American Vernacular English, or “ebonics”.
Just gonna add that bringing AAVE and education into the conversation (which has nothing to do with ebonics or education whatsoever) makes you come off a bit like a possible race baiting dog whistler. It’s an amazingly easy thing to avoid, so I’ve tagged you with a cute lil nickname to keep track.

Alright mate, I’ll just tag you as “cunt” in that case 👍
Right back atcha, fucknut.
I’m not the person accusing people of thought crimes for being class-conscious, I swear to God I’m so fed up of the internet.
