� Each year the Washington Post's Style Invitational asks readers to
take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing
one letter and supply a new definition.
� Here are the 2001 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 spray-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 pick of the literature:
- Ignoranus: A person who's both
stupid and an asshole.
