new words to make you smile

[Pompal 09.]

The Washington Post's Mensa 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 some of this year's winners. Each is an artificial word with only one letter altered to form a real word.

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

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. .

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

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

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


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. tigressxx

Hi Tigress

I love these but actually they're at least a year old - I was sent them by a friend ages ago and I believe I even posted them here on HP. (I may be wrong in that.) However my version has more words than yours, so I'll just add them here:


Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. (Unfortunately, the bozone layer shows little sign of breaking down.)

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

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

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

Glibido: All talk and no action.

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

Beelzebug: Satan in the form of a mosquito, which gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

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

I love this sort of stuff. I think I have some others somewhere. Don't know how long it will take me to find them though.

duplication (proper) never hurts if it is funny
