Shrinkorrhage<\/strong>: \/shrink-orr-ige<\/p>\n

<\/em>\/ Shrinkorrhage is the the painful mental stress and sometimes bloody result of the twenty minute ordeal I go through every time I buy a new CD. <\/p>\n

Etymology:<\/em> SHRINKORRHAGE – noun – from SHRINKWRAP (a flexible film of plastic that, when exposed to a heating process, shrinks to the contour of the merchandise) + HEMORRHAGE (a profuse discharge of blood; any uncontrolled loss, including sanity, when dealing with shrinkwrapped CD’s)

Plasticscourgery<\/strong>: \/plas tik skur jury<\/em>\/ Sheldon loved to be the first in line every Tuesday to get the latest DVD releases of his favourite movies. The only downer he experienced to buying these new purchases was the plasticscourgery he would have to go through to free the films from their cellulolistic prisons. No matter what he used, be it fingernails or sheer brute strength, his wrestle with the clear plastic covers usually took longer than what it took to watch the entire movie and trailers. It was SARANdipitous that one day while walking to the video store, he chanced by a garage sale. His keen eye spotted the perfect tool to help him cut through to his precious movies. For his plasticscourgery, Sheldon bought a second-hand scalpel for $2 and now looked forward once again to DVD Tuesdays! Etymology:<\/em> Plastic (generic name for certain synthetic or semisynthetic materials that can be molded or extruded into objects or films or filaments or used for making e.g. coatings and adhesives) & Scourge (something causes misery or unpleasantness;punish severely; excoriate) & rhyme to Plastic Surgery (surgery concerned with therapeutic or cosmetic reformation of tissue) <\/p>\n

Inadequacedey<\/strong>: \/in-ad-ah-kwa-see-dee<\/em>\/ Every day he was faced with his inadequacedey because he worked in a shrink wrap testing lab. Often he was reduced to tears (tairs). Etymology:<\/em> inadequacy + CD + cede (surrender) Created by:<\/em> Jabberwocky.<\/p>\n

Awraposis<\/strong>: \/aw-rap-OH-sis<\/em>\/ 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. It was suggested that the condition was passed on to him from his father, but he refuses to take the rap. His “shrink” is still searching worldwide for a cure; and, hopefully, for Bob’s sake, the matter will be wrapped-up soon. Etymology:<\/em> 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) Created by:<\/em> OZZIEBOB.<\/p>\n
