[great white]

The last one is the best. I am sure we all know some one that fits into this description.

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 asshole

Respect, Charlie. Those are both clever and funny; well chosen.
