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:

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


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

Intaxicaton: Euphoria at getting a tax
refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
[/size]


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.
[/size]


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[/b]: 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[/b] (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.

Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.


Caterpallor ( n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

Thank you Jim – very clever and funny. Here is a modest contribution:

Bondsai (n.): the powerful natural force that binds a bonsaist to a potted tree or trees. It can be the cause of over-crowded benches, large agglomerations of “sticks-in-pots”, and even domestic discord.

Ausbo. Austrian Social Behaviour Order. I realise this is an abreviation of ASBO (Anti Social Behaviour Order)a civil order made against a person who has been shown, on the balance of evidence, to have engaged in anti-social behaviour, but I could not resist. I think this comment may disappear into the ether too.

Well, Will . . . How about:

Pedestrial: (adj.) Someone who continues to push a rather dull, pointless, (and mean-spirited) "point," esp. in someone else's thread.

Very clever neologisms!
For me this is the best: Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

Suffolkation n. a feeling of being stifled in one's own back yard, perhaps a tad unjustly, and not really knowing if that daft bi... moderator (immoderator?) from Jockland is joking or not. Smile

All in the spirit of fun, Will. Honest sodjers.

Have a great bonsai-ing 2011.

BONSAI:

The art of taking a little tree,
design it with pruning, wiring and time
and planting it in a little pot.


BONGSAI:

The art of starting with a little pot,
getting a serious case of the munchies
and forgetting you even own little trees.

How about a BONZI SCHEME

The act of maketing little tree starts held in little pots with glued in rock as real bonsai
for the purpose of cheating thousands of Mall shoppers out of their hard earned money!
