The Washington Post's Style 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 stops 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 grub in the fruit you're eating.
  18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

:D This one sounds like something from Douglas Adams. Very funny, Imp - thank you!
 
Marvelous, Imp

Thank you. Like many others, most likely, I copied them for possible later use. Wish I had the lot of them. :D

mismused :rose:
 
Hey, come on, guys, I thought we were meant to be wordsmiths here, commenting on the first post ain’t enough. Let’s add some of our own, hey?


TRAMPLEEN -- Like Halloween, but everyone dresses up as Chilled Vodka

HOCUM -- meaningless, boring descriptions of bodily excretions in erotica

Not a very good one, I know:

COMMUJISM: 1) The act of everyone cumming together and sharing the load.
2) The flecks you hope are spittle that hit you when amicus posts.
3) When it always tastes the same.


The Osteopornosis one is frankly brilliant. Beautiful double pun.

QUIMPOSTER -- Lady Jeanne
