Packajagging<\/strong>: \/pack-a-jag-ging<\/em>\/ 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:<\/em> packaging: material that is wrapped around a product + jag: cut or pricked by a sharp projection + jagging: cut unevenly or sharply Created by:<\/em> mrskellyscl.<\/p>\n

Incawrapitate<\/strong>: \/inka – rap – eh – taat<\/em>\/ Marcy managaed to incawrapitate herself on the “Microsoft Money Matters Most” software container. She messed up her fingernails, cut her hands and mortally wounded her pet monkey when the container went flying across the room. Etymology:<\/em> incapacitate (disable), wrap Created by:<\/em> mweinmann.<\/p>\n

Boobywrapped<\/strong>: \/bo\u00c5\u008db\u00c4\u201crapt<\/em>\/ Janet finally broke down and bought one of those devices that was made to open those horrible game packages only to realize that it too was boobywrapped. Etymology:<\/em> booby-trap (a thing designed to catch the unwary, in particular) + wrapped (cover or enclose someone or something) Created by:<\/em> artr.<\/p>\n

Soreandwrap<\/strong>: \/sor and rap<\/em>\/ Wrapunzel fancied herself a Wrap Artist. She could wrap or unwrap anything lickety split. That was until the advent of CD’s and DVD’s. Scissors, knives, nail files, nothing worked…it took longer to get the darn thing out of the packaging that to watch or listen to it. She broke her nails, wrecked her manicures and cut herself many times just to get at her new entertainment. With all those injuries, she used the soreandwrap theory and shamed her friends into opening the discs for her. Getting new stuff should be a Wrapsody, not a Wrapulsion or a Bum Wrap! Etymology:<\/em> Sore (causing misery or pain or distress;roused to anger)& Wrap (the covering (usually paper or cellophane) in which something is wrapped; to coil around)
