Pimplement
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: pimp le ment
Sentence: Janice had finally hit on the next great thing. She modified her belt sander to plane off the zits and blackheads on her T-Zone. She called it a pimplement.

It seems their doctors and lawyers took exception to removing a layer of dermis in a painful manner with a rusty tool from the garage. Go figure!
Etymology: Pimple (zit;acne) & Implement (tool,instrument)
