Here is the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational which 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.

the winners are:
1. cashtration (n.): the act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

2. ignoranus: a person who's both stupid and an not a very nice person.

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 when everybody is sending off all these really bad vibes, and then the earth explodes, and it's a serious bummer.

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

14. glibido: all talk and no action.

15. dopeler effect: the tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

16. arachnoleptic fit (n.): the frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

17. beelzebug (n.): satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

18. caterpallor (n.): the color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
