Mensa Invitational ....
(via DH)
The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational 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. Here are my favorites from this year's {2005} winners:
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops brightideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little signof breaking down in the near future.
Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it. (My favorite !)
Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an as*h*le.
