Wednesday Word of the Day - Sand Rash

New word learned at the beach:

Sand Rash - pronunciation (saaannndd rahsh alternative pronunciation "Owww!")

Definition Please:

A large area of skin that comes in contact with the bottom of the ocean due riding a large wave which then takes you and slams you on the bottom pulling you along to shore taking out everything in your path - kids, sand toys, chairs, bathing suits.  Skin runs along the sand, scraping off the old epidermis revealing new softer skin which then turns pink and burns, usually turning into a nice dark scar from the sun as it heals.

(Ladies do not do this for a free facial, sand rash is not all covering your face could turn blotchy.)

Also caused from heated beach volleyball match, running too fast to chase children, or trying to look like Bo Derek in the sand.

Can you use that in a sentence please?

"Oh my gosh, took out a kid, lost my bathing suit top but will you look at the sand rash from that one?  Man, that hurts."
