Scratch - itch Explanation: Crabs is a venereal disease that often involves a tremendous amount of scratching and itching of the infected area (genitals). Why he would be scratching their place in history is a mystery to me unless it's a play on words. To "scratch" one's place into history would mean to "etch" a place for oneself into history - to become notorious. |
