Talk:scritch

Thanks for explaining it more details and more. I was scritching my head. The difference of scratch and scritch. Scritch with fingers, while scratch are finger or surface to relieve itch.

To scratch an itch. If this sense really exists, it should be in a separate etymology section as it is a portmanteau. Still, does it exist? - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 03:07, 29 May 2019 (UTC)


 * cited. But I don't think it is actually a portmanteau, just another onomatopoeia. My sense of the word is that it is not as broad as - you can scratch an itch by rubbing against a rough surface, for example, but scritching is always done with the fingers. Kiwima (talk) 03:15, 31 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Excellent cites, and from reading them, yes, I agree probably not a portmanteau. I rejigged the def a bit so as to avoid that seeming the case (and also to make it match the uses in the cites better). - Sonofcawdrey (talk) 08:53, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
