Word twisting

This isnt technically a joke, so feel free to move it if it doesnt belong here...

The Washington Post's Style Invitational this year again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one
letter, and supplying a new definition.

Here are this year's winners.

<b>Intaxication</b>: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realise it was your money to start with.

<b>Reintarnation</b>: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

<b>Bozone (n.)</b>: 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.

<b>Foreploy</b>: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

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

<b>Giraffiti</b>: Vandalism spray painted very, very high.

<b>Sarchasm</b>: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

<b>Inoculatte</b>: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

<b>Hipatitis</b>: Terminal coolness.

<b>Osteopornosis</b>: A degenerate disease.

<b>Karmageddon</b>: 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.

<b>Decafalon (n.)</b>: The gruelling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

<b>Glibido</b>: All talk and no action.

<b>Dopeler effect</b>: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

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

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

<b>Caterpallor (n.)</b>: The colour you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.

And the pick of the literature:

<b>Ignoranus</b>: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
