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)

Pronunciation: plas tik skur jury

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)
