Wrapperscraps

Created by: Rhyme79

Pronunciation: rapp-uh-scrahh-pss

Sentence: The best part of a yoghurt is the wrapperscraps. Licking the lid might be something you wouldn't do at the Queen's table, but we all do it anyway.

I'd at least expect something I'd struggle to pronounce, like some obscure cheese or rare cabbage or something.
