Get the Scratching the servicemug. There are many problems with the shithole of a website known as Scratch, or scratch.mit.edu. First of all, The Scratch Team is some of the worst website admins on the planet. They're the cause of why saying "crap" or "heck" will get you banned. Saying "Hey wanna hang out later?" will get you banned because of the bots that filter "hang out" as a link to the Google chatting platform, Hangouts, or linking to actual hanging. Oh yeah, there are these Scratch Warrior Cats that will annoy the hell out of you. The Scratch Warrior Cats also make cringe "memes" that aren't even memes. Stealing others' content is allowed for some reason because of their remixing "policy", which basically states you can remix a project, only change a sprite, and get away with it. It's ridiculous. There are some actually really well-made games and animations, but they get overlooked by the fame retards who make very sub-par 10-second animations with stickman characters and very basic platformers. If you criticize any popular political opinion, you're, according to the community, uneducated. If you say just the tiniest little thing negative about the LGBT community, you're considered homophobic. If you plan on joining this site, beware. If the Scratch Team weren't such dumbasses at maintaining a website, and the fame retards didn't exist on this website, maybe Scratch would be a better place.
If you don't get banned, warned, or reported by an idiotic 9-year-old, you're literally a god.

Get the Scratchmug. When a guy tries to stick it in a girls ass, but she springs out of the bed and turns and gives him the stink eye. Scratching the vinyl is the sound that goes through the guys head, as when a record stops abruptly.
Everything was going great with Yolanda until i had to go scratch the vinyl. Now, I have no chance at hitting that again.

Get the scratch the vinylmug. (Figurative meaning). To be worried about something, especially when it involves overthinking about it.
Like a scratched CD gets stuck in one place and repeats the same sound over and over, a (metaphorically) scratched person broods on something for hours and hours, wondering and worrying too much about it.
Usually people get scratched about small matters, like that stupid thing they said to their crush and they regret. However, it's possible to get scratched about important things, for example, a final exam that went horrible.
