Pronunciation: sor and rap

Sentence: Wrapunzel fancied herself a Wrap Artist. She could wrap or unwrap anything lickety split. That was until the advent of CD's and DVD's. Scissors, knives, nail files, nothing worked...it took longer to get the darn thing out of the packaging that to watch or listen to it. She broke her nails, wrecked her manicures and cut herself many times just to get at her new entertainment. With all those injuries, she used the soreandwrap theory and shamed her friends into opening the discs for her. Getting new stuff should be a Wrapsody, not a Wrapulsion or a Bum Wrap!

Etymology: Sore (causing misery or pain or distress;roused to anger)& Wrap (the covering (usually paper or cellophane) in which something is wrapped; to coil around) Word Play on Saran Wrap (plastic cling film)
