Subject: Some First-Rate Giggles

  
 
The  Washington Post's Style 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 this year's winners:


1. Bozone  (n.): 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.

2. Foreploy (v): Any misrepresentation about yourself  for the
purpose of getting laid.

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

4. Giraffiti (n): Vandalism spray-painted very, very  high.

5. Sarchasm (n): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and  the
person 
who doesn't get it.

6. Inoculatte (v): To take coffee  intravenously when you are
running late.

7. Hipatitis (n): Terminal  coolness.

8. Osteopornosis (n): A degenerate disease. (This one got extra  credit.)

9. Karmageddon (n): 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.

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

11. Glibido  (v): All talk and no action.

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

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

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

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

And the pick of the  literature:

16. Ignoranus (n): A person who's both stupid and an  asshole
