scribble: n. To modify a data structure in a random and unintentionally
destructive way. “Bletch! Somebody's disk-compactor program went
berserk and scribbled on the i-node table.” “It was working
fine until one of the allocation routines scribbled on low core.”
Synonymous with trash; compare
mung, which conveys a bit more intention, and
mangle, which is more violent and final.
