Several of these really made me laugh. Thought you guys might enjoy

them, too.

Each year the Washington Post's Style Invitational asks readers to

take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting or

changing one letter and supply a new definition. The winners for 2001 were:

 

 

Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until

you realize it was your money to begin with

 

 

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly

 

 

Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of

getting laid

 

 

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high

 

 

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 sending off all

 

these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes

 

and it's like, a serious bummer.

 

 

Glibido: All talk and no action

 

 

Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to

 

seem smarter when they come at you rapidly

 

 

---And the pick of the literature:---

 

 

Ignoranus: A person who is both stupid and an asshole
