An instant lottery ticket, sold everywhere. You scratch off the covering over numbers/symbols to see if the ticket wins any prizes.

The tiny particles of crud that are left on the bar, desk, or counter top when you are done checking "scratcher" lottery tickets. Named after the fact that most instant lottery tickets are losers, as are most people who count on them for a source of financial existance.

Spilled beer, cigarette ashes, some loser dust, and 50 cents in change that wouldn't buy Bob another draft or scratcher. "fugging drunk loser asshole" she thought.

The extra viewfinder now found on the front of digital cameras. It exists for those who can't get through a day without taking a picture of themselves.

First used (?) in "Heathers" http://imdb.com/title/tt0097493/ , probably more close to meaning "well, I'll be damned" or "Well, kiss my ass".

Giving credit for something, usually a line of dialogue, use of a word in a particular situation, or a concept. Giving props to the person you just quoted. Popularized in 90's Usenet newsgroup lingo, still used occasionally by old schoolers in the know.
