Change one letter... result-new words

Someone sent this too me and it cracked my shit up so bad I thought I'd share..


The Washington Post's Style 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:

18. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

17. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

16. 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.

15. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

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

13. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

12. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

11. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

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

8. 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.

7. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

6. Glibido: All talk and no action.

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

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

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

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

..........And the pick of the literature:

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


So does anyone have anything they'd add to the list? Favorite new words?

Other thread.

It's always a good idea to search around first, also please think about the content of a thread and match it to a forum.
