Deteriorashine
Created by: artr
Pronunciation: də/ter/e/or/a/shīn
Sentence: Wendel was proud of the deteriorashine on his keyboard. To him, it was a sign of a hard worker.

As he ran his hand over the top of his head, he beamed at the thought that heavy-duty use of his brain could also cause deteriorashine.
Etymology: deterioration (become progressively worse) + Shine (reflect light because clean or polished)
