  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 then 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 (familiar to all men).
  
  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.
