An idiom to describe sloppy handwriting I am trying to remember an idiom which describes sloppy handwriting,and it's ought to be crab thingy.I did read it in somewhere,and it has a crab in it.But at this moment I cannot figure it out.Maybe it is not an idiom but only a kind of metaphor.Would anyone give me some clues?Many thanks.Think I just found it,it's no more than an adjective.The whole sentence is "He was bent over the biggest book Arya had ever seen, a great thick tome with cracked yellow pages of crabbed script, bound between faded leather covers, but he closed it to listen to Harwin’s report."
