Title: New words
Post by: Xilren's Twin on January 26, 2006, 02:03:21 PM
Yeah, this is a paste from some a Wshington post contest but I got a chuckle out of a few of em...

The concept was to make a new word and define it by adding, subtracting or altering a single letter in a real word.  These are the winners. Each is an artificial word with only one letter altered from a real word.   

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with. 
2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly. 
3. 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.
4. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
5 . Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
6. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
7. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
8. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
9 Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
10 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.
11. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
12. Glibido: All talk and no action.
13. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
14. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
15. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
16. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
17. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole

I believe several on this board may be suffereing from Osteopornosis. Who knew?

I found a rare pic of visible bozone-

I can imagine Sarchasm seeing some use.

Like when someone online thinks you're serious when you say something obviously facetious.  You can say they've fallen into the sarchasm.
