my faves are the Bozone layer ... Hipatitis ... and the Dopeler effect

Here is the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational which 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.

The 2005 winners are:

1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying (or building) a house,

which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period

of time.

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

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

until you realize that it was your money to start with.

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.

10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

12. Karmageddon: It's when everybody is sending off all these really bad

vibes, and then the Earth explodes and it's a serious bummer.

13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day

consuming only things that are good for you

14. Glibido: All talk and no action.

15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when

they come at you rapidly.

16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after

you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your

bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in

the fruit you're eating.
