The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again invited readers to
take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or
changing one letter, and supply a new definition.
Here are the winners:
1.. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the
subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
2.. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an a##hole.

4.. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
5.. 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.
6.. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting laid.
7.. Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high
8.. Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
9.. Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
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.
Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
Glibido : All talk and no action.
Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when
they come at you rapidly.
