Fun wordplay: The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to 
take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or 
changing of one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are this 
year's {2005} winners: 

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

2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole. 

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

4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 

5. 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. 

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

7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high. 

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

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

10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness. 

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

12. 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. 

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