Scratching Teeth

The act in which two individuals make physical contact by scraping their teeth together.

This cannot be done easily in a natural situation, like kissing. The two people must position their heads and mouths awkwardly, in a manner in which they can rub their teeth against anothers.

The sensation created is similar to eating with a fork, and when you pull the fork out of your mouth, it makes a distasteful "scratching" noise. The feeling may bring about numbness, hysteria, and a temporary deafness (due to the shrieking noise created when the teeth collide).

It has been said that scratching teeth may replace waterboarding as a form of torture in the near future.
Christian- "Did you hear what Justin did last night?"

Dan- "Yeah. He was totally scratching teeth with that girl from Utah. Yuck!"

Christian- "We need to get him to the nearest psychiatric ward."

Dan- "We'll do it live."

Scratching

With the same intention as cutting, except trying to avoid scarring. The scratcher will usually use something sharp to the touch but not pure metal, for example, a bobby pin without the plastic coating or a safety pin as opposed to a knife, scissors, razor, pencil sharpener blade, etc.
It's not cutting, it's scratching.

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.
