    New words

    And here are the winners of this year's Washington Post's Mensa Invitational,

    which 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 (seems like the first four have been seen before):



    1. Cashtration (n): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject

    financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.



    2. Ignoranus (n): A person who is both stupid and an *******.



    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. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit)



    11. 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.



    12. Decafalon: The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only

    thing that are good for you.



    13. Glibido: All talk and no action.



    14. Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they

    come at you rapidly.



    15. Arachnoleptic Fit: The frantic dance performed just after you've

    accidentally walked through a spider web.



    16. Beelzebug: Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom

    at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.



    17. Caterpallor: The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit

    you you're eating.



    The Washington Post has also published the winning submissions to its yearly

    contest in which readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for common

    words. And those the winners are:



    1. Coffee (n): The person upon whom one coughs.



    2. Flabbergasted (adj): Appalled by discovering how much weight one has

    gained.



    3. Abdicate (v): To give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.



    4. Esplanade (v): to attempt an explanation while drunk.



    5. Willy-nilly (adj): Impotent



    6. Negligent (adj): Absentmindedly answering the door when wearing only a

    nightgown.



    7. Lymph (v): To walk with a lisp.



    8. Gargoyle (n): Olive flavored mouthwash



    9. Flatulence (n): Emergency vehicle that picks up someone who has been run

    over by a steamroller.



    10. Balderdash (n): A rapidly receding hairline.



    11. Testicle (n): A humorous question on an exam



    12. Rectitude (n): The formal, dignified bearing adopted by proctologists.



    13. Pokemon (n): A Rastafarian proctologist.



    14. Oyster (n): A person who sprinkles his conversation with yiddishisms.



    15. Frisbeetarianism (n): the belief that, after death, the soul flies up

    onto the roof and gets stuck there.

    men
