- Delete also wrong - it's the sound of fingernails on a blackboard as every schoolboy knows. Dlyons493 Talk 02:31, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. It's also a common action that college students will do to each other to offer comfort, etc., independent of fandoms. No vote either way from me, just wanted to offer more background. Janet13 06:12, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete the non-notable neologism. -- Captain Disdain 06:29, 30 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- transwiki since it seems to be more of a wictionary item--and I would find it difficult to suggest that a word that shows up in early Disney cartoons (chalkboard scratching onomatopoeia) is a neologism.--eleuthero 01:06, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, if it's that old, then it's definitely not a neologism. Fair enough. That said, it's still not notable enough to merit inclusion in Wikipedia. Quite suitable for Wiktionary, though, so transwiki's fine with me, as long as it goes away from here... -- Captain Disdain 09:45, 31 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, not in any dictionary. I have heard the word used to mention the sound made when scratching, but this definition seems unverifiable. If it were a proper definition, it belongs in Wiktionary. -- Foofy 14:00, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
