    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.
