New Words

[Marcel in Longueuil]

The Washington Post’s Invitational 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
some of the winners:

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high up on
walls.

Tatyr: A lecherous Mr. Potato Head.

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

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

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

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, man.

Glibido: All talk and no action.

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

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

Ignoranus: A person who’s both stupid and an a**hole.

Lol, those are pretty cool. That dopeler effect hit me in a committee meeting at work just last week!
