A friend sent this to me today...and I had to share it with you all.  
I also thought that we could come up with some great ones.  Please 
enjoy these...and feel free to add any that you think of.

mildly 'colorful' language contained below)**


"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.

And the pick of the literature:

18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole."
