The Washington Post's Mensa 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 worm in
the fruit you're eating



And the pick of the literature:

18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a******.


Post your new words!

I've seen it before but it's still a good read.

That's a new one on me

We have a plethora of new words in our house, but if I typed them in this green box I would get all :banned:

You can have Rockcellent though.

14. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

I love the sarchasm.

My favorite is Bozone, but sarchasm comes in a close second.

What, noone has any new words?

chilaxin' - I think it's self explanatory

ridyllic - (adj.) the quality of speaking in riddles

I came up with that last one my freshman year in English class when we had to describe one of Shakespeare's characters. My teacher loved it so much she didn't take points off for using a fake word.

Argh... I cant believe people say that word seriously. Its so freaking annoying.

Guesstimate - the word that people say when they want me to hit them for being annoying.

/me hits kyle90

Funner.

-The proper term is "more fun". Funner is not a real word.

Extreame (tm)

When a situation is both dangerous but amazingly cool and hip at the same time.

(we use this in our rockclimbing club)

Schwang... erm, too rude, i cant explain it.

rayped ... basically another version of owneddd.
