chicken scratch

My writing.
1) Used as a description of poor writing when it resembles the marks left in sand by a gaggle of chickens.
2) the act of scratching a chicken..or using a chicken to scratch yourself

Damn, I can't read this chickenscratch, was he seizing when he wrote this?

Chinkenscratch

Derogatory term for the character-based asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese. It comes from the 'pictograms' looking overly detailed to an outside observer, as indecipherable as chicken scratch handwriting. The root word is "chink" to also imply the racist stereotype that all asians are Chinese.

Excessively messy, unreadable handwriting. Usually similar to; if not, a serial killer's handwriting.
