    Default New words...

    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. Read them carefully. Each is an artificial word with only one letter altered to form a real word. Some are terrifically innovative:

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

    Reintarnation
    Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

    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.

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

    Giraffiti
    Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

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

    Inoculatte
    To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

    Hipatitis
    Terminal coolness.

    Osteopornosis
    A degenerate disease (This one got extra credit.)

    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.

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

    Glibido
    All talk and no action.

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

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

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

    Caterpallor (n.)
    The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

    And the pick of the lot:

    Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an arsehole.


    Later, QD.
