Tips

usage
Onomatopoeic — mimics the rubbing sound of erasing. Most often refers to the Japanese Pilot FriXion (磨擦 mómócā) line, where friction-generated heat makes the thermosensitive ink vanish. Don't store filled-in test papers in a hot car.
mistakes
Don't confuse with 修正 (xiūzhèngbǐ, 'correction pen / white-out pen'). 修正 covers ink with white liquid; 擦擦笔 makes its own ink disappear by friction or heat.
