Pronunciation: plas-toe-mas-o-chi-zel-ize

Sentence: Perhaps it was because she had found out there was no Santa Claus at the tender age of 14, but Gorzillia just loved opening presents she bought for herself. Being a lover of all things hi-tech and entertaining, a lot of the gifts to herself were secured in plastic which required patience as well as a chisel to open. She loved the process, even when it caused her to shed blood. What she didn't know, of course, was that the pleasure she derived from this adventure was called plastomasochiselization.

Etymology: From plastic, a synthetically produced molded material + masochism, a psychological disorder which produces pleasure from physical pain + chisel, a metal tool used to cut or shape

Pronunciation: pack-a-jag-ging

Sentence: Grandma bought little Timmy the video game he bugged about for weeks, unaware that it was protected by packajagging designed to discourage shoplifters and terrorists alike due to the risk of serious injury and/or mental meltdown. Trying to open the darn thing while the kid was jumping up and down shrieking with impatience because he wanted to play with it "right now!" was not exactly the Norman Rockwell moment she planned on. Finally, after shredding her fingers to pieces, she used her garden shears and managed to pry the game out, only to find that Timmy had gone outside with his new skateboard. "Merry @#$% Christmas," said Grandma as she poured herself a Gin and Tonic.

Etymology: packaging: material that is wrapped around a product + jag: cut or pricked by a sharp projection + jagging: cut unevenly or sharply
