Each year the Washington Post’s Style Invitational asks readers to take
any
word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing
one
letter and supplying a new definition.
Here are the 2001 winners:
Intaxication: – Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you
realize it was your money to start with.
Reintarnation: – Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
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: – To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
Hipatitis: – Terminal coolness.
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.
Glibido: – All talk and no action.
Dopeler Effect: – The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when you
have
been smoking marijuana.
And, the pick of the literature:
Ignoranus: – A person who’s both stupid and an a$$hole.
Fighter pilots make movies, Bomber pilots make history and Nerds make money from the sims!
