    Here is the Washington Post's annual Mensa Invitational which once again
    asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by
    adding, subtracting, or changing one letter - and supply a new
    definition.


    The winners are:


    1. Cashtration (n.):
    The act of buying (or building) a house, which renders the subject
    financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.


    2. Ignoranus : I love this one
    A person who's both stupid and an asshole.


    3 Intaxication :
    Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize that
    it was your money to start with.

    4. Reintarnation:
    Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

    5. Bozone (n.):
    The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from
    penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of
    breaking down in the near future.

    6. Foreploy :
    Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

    7. Giraffiti:
    Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

    8. Sarchasm :
    The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who
    doesn't get it.

    9. Inoculatte:
    To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

    10. Hipatitis :
    Terminal coolness.

    11. Osteopornosis:
    A degenerate disease.

    12. Karmageddon :
    It's when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, and
    then the Earth explodes and it's a serious bummer.

    13. Decafalon (n.):
    The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things
    that are good for you.

    14. Glibido :
    All talk and no action.

    15. Dopeler effect:
    The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you
    rapidly.

    16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.):
    The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked
    through a spider web.

    17. Beelzebug (n.):
    Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three
    in the morning and cannot be cast out.

    18. Caterpallor (n.):
    The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're
    eating.
    "Researchers have already cast much darkness on the subject, and if they continue their investigations, we shall soon know nothing at all about it."
