What is Tab-scratchers?
1.
The term to use when you tear the tab off your can of pop before you're done drinking it, which gives you an urge to stick your tongue in the newly-made hole while drinking it.
Your tongue eventually gets an uncomfortable cut from rubbing against the sharp edges and touching the aluminum tab that hangs down in the can of pop, and you get tab-scratchers.
You: Hey, what's wrong?
Person: Gah, my tongue is killing me! I stuck it in the hole of my vintage Pepsi Throwback and now I'm stuck with this cut! Ahh, it hurts so bad!
You: Yeah, I know how it feels to have tab-scratchers.
