- The word was a nonce word used in a YouTube video to talk about a tv remote to say that it felt more like plastic than the apple remote did. The word was created by using the word “Plastic” and adding the comparative suffix -er to it to change the noun into a comparative adjective. It was created so that the remote of the TV that was being reviewed could be compared to an apple remote because of the visual similarities between the two.
