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.

That the saints may enjoy their beatitude and the grace of God more abundantly they are permitted to see the punishment of the damned in hell. -Saint Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica
