Title: Washington Post's
Post by: Saintaw on May 23, 2003, 05:35:26 AM

Each year the Washington Post's Style invites readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing  only one letter and supply a new definition. Here are the
2002
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 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
they
  come at you rapidly.

  And, the winner of the Washington Post's Style Invitational:

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