The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing of one letter, and supply a new definition.
Here are the 2005 winners:
1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a**hole.
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 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.
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.

Rodentistry.
Next one will be about retards. I'll be sure to PING teeny. ;o)
You also misspelled repulsive, as replusive. I thought maybe Darksheare was looking over your shoulder.
I like replusive, it could be a candidate word:
Replusive -- hideous, but with additional nastiness.
Was just discussing what a 'Knwo' is.
Decided it is some horrific movie monster.
Nobody knows what it looks like, but they recognize it when they see it and scream out "Knwoooooooo!"
Very GOOD! Talk about lemonade for CG's lemon
I thought it was just an Elmer Fuddism! ;o)
LOL, if it was only that benign.
"Knwo" is due to my typos.
Earliest word in this category that I can remember came from Playboy.
"My wife is a Hobosexual."
-- "Did you just call your wife a homosexual?"
"No. I said Hobosexual. She's a bum lay."
(I think ... circa 1960's)
Oy!!!
LOL!
Ouch!
Just for clarification........ how is this process achieved?
The Ways to Enlightened Muttliness are myriad....although most of them directly involve food, excavation, and things mysteriously being "that way" when he got there.

Excellent.
Carry on.
