he 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 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 worm in
the fruit you're eating.
*
And the pick of the literature:
*
18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
*
