terminology

so whats a scritch? i always say scratch.

and fids? originate from uk or global?

[Dave007]

The term scritch, also known as scritchies, skritch, or skritches, is given to the act of gently scratching someone's back, neck or between the ears in an affectionate manner using one's fingernails (or more lightly with fingertips), or the claws of a fursuit or plushie.

 

It's considered bad form to try this on strangers, or those furs or fans of fur not comfortable with the idea or the act. It is generally better to pat a fursuiter than to scritch them, as it has less chance of matting the fur.

 

Bird people have added the word to their vocabulary

 

It's been proven beyond a doubt that the bird really has no feelings about the word one way or another. There's only one thing important to them---*call it what you want but you do it or else you'll be in deep doo doo!!*<br><br>Post edited by: Dave007, at: 2009/04/03 00:05

"Fids" is short for "feathered kids" but I have no idea where it was first used.

Nothing is set in stone. As your years with a grey increases, those heavy immovable stones eventually turn into very light weight pebbles.
