The Washington Post's Style Invitational again this year asked
readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding,
subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
These were some of the best ever ...
1. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
2. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting laid.
3. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
4. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the
person who doesn't get it.
5. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
6. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
7. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.
8. 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.
9. Glibido: All talk and no action.
10. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when
they come at you rapidly.
11. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until
you realize it was your money to start with.
12. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
