Pronunciation: rip ill a toree

Sentence: Gavin was such a big baby about anything medical. No wonder men didn't have the babies or the human race would have died out long ago. He fainted at the sight of blood, so Blood Bank donations were nightmares for him. The way he told it, getting a blood test was a major psychological drama for him. He'd had no choice...doctor's orders. Get that blood test or else! Gavin summoned what little courage he had and had the blood work done. He pressed the cotton ball on the spot and when it was deemed safe, the nurse put a bandage on the afflicted area. He was told in an hour he could remove the bandage. Sure enough, an hour later, he talked his wife into gently please removing the bandaid. Naturally, the revenge she felt for all his crybaby acts was strong, so she pulled it off fast and nasty. The ripillatory agony he experienced was only surpassed by the phone call from the lab, saying they'd accidentally dropped his blood vials and he would have to return in the morning for retests! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Etymology: rip (to tear or be torn violently;the act of rending or splitting something) & ill (an often persistent bodily disorder or disease; a cause for complaining)& depilatory (something used to remove hair;able to remove hair or render hairless)

Pronunciation: /dəˈpɪləˌtoɹtʃɝ/

Sentence: Perhaps the depilatorture of bandage removal could be lessened somewhat if we hired professional bikini-waxers to do the yank-job for us.

Etymology: From depilatory + torture

COMMENTS:

Yes, "yank-job" sounds like it could be dirty. But it's not. - ErWenn, 2007-06-06: 01:09:00

Oh, it's still dirty, all right. Maybe not in the context you've provided, but rest assured: use of the term predates this discussion by decades. - Clayton, 2007-06-06: 07:15:00

Those yanks were always a bit dodgy! - galwaywegian, 2007-06-06: 07:25:00

As always, the best word here. - Osomatic, 2007-06-06: 13:22:00

You think my word is always the best? I guess I know who my usual one vote comes from. (Now I'm trying to think of a way of saying "thanks" that doesn't sound sarcastic after that remark.) - ErWenn, 2007-06-07: 01:16:00

Pronunciation: owch-less-my-ass

Sentence: I had heard that ripping a band-aid off quickly was the least painful method, however, when I did it to Mark, judging from his blood-curdling scream, I suspected he just experienced ouchelessmyass. He claimed it was depullofterror and I had committed follikill - I say he was just being a big baby.

Etymology: From Band-Aid's ridiculous claim to be "ouchless"

You have 3 terrific words here - Jabberwocky, 2007-06-06: 11:36:00

i hear water actually helps with the ouchless band-aids. - jadenguy, 2007-06-06: 16:44:00

I'll bet massage oil or lubricant works even better. - Clayton, 2007-06-06: 18:15:00

Sentence: OMG! Stop screaping me! Call yourself a nurse?! You're not a nurse! You're a crazy, sadistic, crazy sadist! Argh! STOP IT!

Etymology: A mixture of 'scream' and 'rip' with a portion of 'scrape', which to me, is a pretty painful sounding word.
