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: Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (this one got extra credit) 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:
Subject: New Words
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).
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.
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.
Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a**hole.
But this one seems to fit you so well.
Seen a few of these around here.
;-)
Not in any dictionary I've got. But then I don't keep pidgin or Ebonics dictionaries. Back to your cave Einstein!
Progrossive: a fat and ugly liberal.
Socialost: A liberal that cannot , even in theory, ever be convinced of the error of their ways.
Dimocrat: A liberal who cannot lie, cheat , and steal effectively.
Dinocrat: A liberal who cannot change his old lies even after they have been throughly discredited by the public at large.
