New Words... Maybe Posted: 02-05-07 04:44am
The washington post's mensa invitational
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.
Here are this year's winners:
1. Intaxication: euphoria at getting a
tax refund, which lasts until you realize
it was your money to start with.
2. Reintarnation: coming back to life as
a hillbilly.
3. Bozone (n.): the substance surrounding
stupid people that stop bright ideas from
penetrating. The bozone layer,
unfortunately, shows little sign of
breaking down in the near future.
4. Foreploy: any misrepresentation about
yourself for the purpose of getting
laid.
5. Cashtration (n.): the act of buying a
house, which renders the subject
financially impotent for an indefinite
period.
6. Giraffiti: vandalism spray-painted
very, very high.
7. Sarchasm: the gulf between the author
of sarcastic wit and the person who
doesn't get it.
8. Inoculatte: to take coffee
intravenously when you are running late.
9. Hipatitis: terminal coolness.
10. Osteopornosis: a degenerate disease.
(this one got extra credit.)
11. Karmageddon: it's like, when
everybody is sending off all these really
bad vibes, right? And then, like, the
earth explodes and it's like, a serious
bummer.
12. Decafalon (n.): the grueling event of
getting through the day consuming only
things that are good for you.
13. Glibido: all talk and no action.
14. Dopeler effect: the tendency of
stupid ideas to seem smarter when they
come at you rapidly.
15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): the frantic
dance performed just after you've
accidentally walked through a spider web.
16. Beelzebug (n.): satan in the form of
a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at
three in the morning and cannot be cast
out.
17. Caterpallor (n.): the color you turn
after finding half a worm in the fruit
you're eating.
18. Ignoranus: a person who's both stupid
and an problem.

Absolutely hilarious, i'm going to email
it to myself!! My personal favorites are
intaxication, foreploy, sarchasm and
osteopornosis. I have to say that
cashtrate gave me a few chuckles, too!
