Scruffing -definition was - Over-Strike vs Under-Strike

[KeyKat88 at aol.com]

Greetings, 

       My 2 cents: What word do you use describe a mechanical action that 
encompasses, 

grazing by, but yet also striking, and simutaneously
not exactly hitting directly perpendicular or direct?

  I think the somehwat appropriate word that fits would be scuff. But 
scuffing implies hard surface to hard surface contact...or at least thats how I 
connotate it, as shoes on a floor or some rubber bumper that scuffed a car door. 
   PTG'ers could develop a word. It would probably have to start out as a 
sniglet. Eventually the word may make it into the International Language 
Society's list of words to add to the world's dictionaries as proper terminology. Yet 
how many discussions may be merely a few it effects.
