Wrapitransit
Created by: silveryaspen
Pronunciation: Rap it tran sit
Sentence: Paper Rosey had quite a system. She was a paper clip. She clipped paper from any source she could. She removed paper from gifts, copy machines, comics books, paperbacks, newspapers, even paper dolls, and toilet paper rolls. Paper Rosey even stripped the paper from the walls. Paper Rosey was also the ultimate paper resighcler. Her paper clippings were used, over and over again, to wrap her gifts. Paper Rosey even made paper jams, by taping and pasting small bits and pieces together, until she had enough to cover her gifts. Paper Rosey called all this her ... wrapitransit system.
Etymology: RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM, WRAP IT. RAPID TRANSIT - exspeedient rapid transition system using papers that should have been buried undergound but were quickly re-elevated to the status of gift wrap. WRAP IT - cover it with paper.

Wrapartee
Created by: Nosila
Pronunciation: rap art tay
Sentence: (Sung(?) like a rap song...) Yo, yo,ho, ho, let me tell you, And let me tell you well, Here's what happened to me Last year just before Noel. To try and save the Planet And my earnings as well, I decided to recycle gifts and all the wrap as well. It was wrapartee devine when I found her the perfect prez. I wrapped it in a garbage bag, And hid it in our rez. My girl's face on Yule morn, was as stunned as it could be. I'd bought some bling on e-bay, and wrapped it in a bag I'd used for the dog. Snoop Doggy Dogg that is. My girl she found it Ludacris, especially when she saw all the Eminems I'd used to make the bag feel bigger. She called me a gangsta' of love, that I'd graffitied on her heart and then she raised her hand up hard and punched me clear back to the ghetto. Yo, Yo, Ho, Ho, I have to call Dr. Dre,to treat my big black shiner, because it will not go away! Yo, yo, ho, ho,...that's a wrap!
Etymology: Wrap (to cover in paper or cellophane, especially gifts) & Repartee (adroitness and clever responses; witty banter)
