New Words

The Washington Post's Style invitational 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 some of
the winners:

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.

Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting laid.

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

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, like, sending off all
these really bad vibes, right? and then, like, the Earth explodes
and
it's like, a totally serious bummer.

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.

....and the pick of the literature:

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