I just asked my 7th grader what she called a piece of paper she works her
sums on that doesn't get turned in -- she immediately said "scratch paper".
She also said that's what her friends would call it. This is somehow faintly
reminiscent of the sub/poor boy/hoagie thread of aeons ago .... or was that
even this list?

Probably hoarding scratch paper (I have lots and lots) is British too!
