Pronunciation: plas-toe-mas-o-chi-zel-ize

Sentence: Perhaps it was because she had found out there was no Santa Claus at the tender age of 14, but Gorzillia just loved opening presents she bought for herself. Being a lover of all things hi-tech and entertaining, a lot of the gifts to herself were secured in plastic which required patience as well as a chisel to open. She loved the process, even when it caused her to shed blood. What she didn't know, of course, was that the pleasure she derived from this adventure was called plastomasochiselization.

Etymology: From plastic, a synthetically produced molded material + masochism, a psychological disorder which produces pleasure from physical pain + chisel, a metal tool used to cut or shape
