Sentence: Sheldon loved to be the first in line every Tuesday to get the latest DVD releases of his favourite movies. The only downer he experienced to buying these new purchases was the plasticscourgery he would have to go through to free the films from their cellulolistic prisons. No matter what he used, be it fingernails or sheer brute strength, his wrestle with the clear plastic covers usually took longer than what it took to watch the entire movie and trailers. It was SARANdipitous that one day while walking to the video store, he chanced by a garage sale. His keen eye spotted the perfect tool to help him cut through to his precious movies. For his plasticscourgery, Sheldon bought a second-hand scalpel for $2 and now looked forward once again to DVD Tuesdays!

Etymology: Plastic (generic name for certain synthetic or semisynthetic materials that can be molded or extruded into objects or films or filaments or used for making e.g. coatings and adhesives) & Scourge (something causes misery or unpleasantness;punish severely; excoriate) & rhyme to Plastic Surgery (surgery concerned with therapeutic or cosmetic reformation of tissue)
