Pronunciation: stink- rap

Sentence: After fighting the stinkwrap keeping me from my much sought after Sims game, I finally broke down and chewed the plastic off. I would have been more upset, but I did grow up during hte time when new CDs came in a plastic cage, making it impossible to listen to them before you could get home and cut away the plastic with bolt cutters. That was the 90s version of stinkwrap.

Etymology: stink (as in that stinks to voice displeasure) + shrinkwrap

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.

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)
