Pronunciation: aw-rap-OH-sis

Sentence: Whenever Bob was needed to open skrink-wrapped items, it was not long before he began to wrapambulate wildly. A wraposcopy revealed that he had a severe case of awraposis. It was suggested that the condition was passed on to him from his father, but he refuses to take the rap. His "shrink" is still searching worldwide for a cure; and, hopefully, for Bob's sake, the matter will be wrapped-up soon.

Etymology: Blend of AWRY: disordered, disarranged, gone wrong; AWE: fear, dread, fright; WRAP: put something around, cover; & -OSIS: suffix usu. denoting a medical term or condition (pyschosis)

Yes after careful examination, he decided it was a nefarious scheme, the same one which kept the elderly from getting at their meds' bottles. Or the unenlightened to try and open a package of sticky notes. Why even the clever new knife designed specifically to open such hard plastic packages came in one...what was the world coming to???

Pronunciation: Shring-crap

Sentence: I felt that I grew dumber as I fumbled with the CD case trying to open it. Within minutes, I found myself smashing the case against my head in a failed attempt to open it. It wasn't until I tried using scissors, and damaging the CD, that I had known I had been truely shrinkwrapped.

Etymology: Shrinkwrap (annoying plastic on CD case) + crap (term of frustration; as in "Crap! I can't get this stupid plastic off.")
