Jan. 8, 2002

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.
