Each year the Washington Post's Style Invitational asks readers to take any word from the
dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing only one letter and supply a new definition. Here are the 2002 winners: 11. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with. 10. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 9. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid. 8. Giraffiti: Vandalism painted very, very high. 7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it. 6. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late. 5. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness. 4. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit). 3. Karmageddon: It's like, when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, right? then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer. 2. Glibido: All talk and no action. And, the winner of the Washington Post's Style Invitational: 1. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole. |
