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.
