scratchiti 

A form of graffiti in which markings are etched into hard surfaces. Particularly prevalent in NYC Subways where Graffiti remover and a "Clean Train" policy have all but eradicated traditional aerosol graffiti.

Considered by many a low form of graffiti as the difficult etching leaves little room for artistic design, scratchiti is often simply block-lettered tags used to promote a particular urban artist or claim territory, or amature copycat work.

Tools employed in the craft are generally keys, knives, and razorblades, but Lava Rocks available at hardware stores, Carbide tipped drill bits, and spark plugs have been reported as tools of choice as well.

Occasionally, detailed etching work is spotted, and is assumed to be done using an apparatus similar to a Dremel Tool.
Many straphangers consider Scratchiti to be a blight on their subway.

Dutch Scratching 

A torture technique in which you hit a male in the back of the balls with a knot, foot, balled chain, etc. to induce excruciating pain. Better used when one strips down and restrains said victim so they have no way to protect themselves.
In OO7: Casino Royale James Bond is Dutch Scratched as a form of torture to get a password. Le Chiffre decided to use Dutch Scratching as the way to torture him because he wanted to humiliate Bond.

Dutch Scratching 

An awkward form of torture in which the torturer strips down their victim bare naked (usually of the male gender), sits them down in a seat-less chair, and uses something like a knotted rope to hit the victim in the back of the nuts or in the perineum (area between the scrotum and the anus; the taint or gooch).
