In track, when a runner withdraws from a race before it begins. The term originated from the days when heat sheets were written on paper, and a runner's name would litterally be scratched off in pencil when he/she decided not to race.

Verb: To 69, or conduct oral sex with your partner while they simultaneously reciprocate.
In a more common context, the word "scratch" is applied to the activity of rasping, or digging with the fingers, or nails. Examples of this useage can be seen in the phrase, "You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours." In this slang context, that phrase is amended to, "You suck my junk, I'll lick yours." Of course, those verbs can be further amended to allow for gay/lesbian scratching, or different oral techniques.
