Words, words, words

I needed a laugh this morning and found this in my inbox.  Enjoy (as much as I did, which translates to honking with laughter over my Special K) x

Mensa asked its members to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. The 2005 winners are:

• Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
• Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
• 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 when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, and then the Earth explodes and it's a serious bummer.
• Decafalon (n.): The gruelling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
• Glibido: All talk and no action.
• Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

Those are SO clever! Love "sarchasm". I can see that getting plenty of use in our house - son has a cutting wit, at times, that leaves his classmates confused. And "glibido" *snort snort* !!!
