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.

script kiddies pl.n.
1. The lowest form of cracker;
script kiddies do mischief with scripts and programs written by
others, often without understanding the exploit. 2. People who cannot program, but who
create tacky HTML pages by copying JavaScript routines from other
tacky HTML pages. More generally, a script kiddie writes (or more
likely cuts and pastes) code without either having or desiring to
have a mental model of what the code does; someone who thinks of
code as magical incantations and asks only "what do I need to
type to make this happen?"
