The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational 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.
Here are this year's [link] winners:

financially impotent for an indefinite period.
2. Ignoranus (n.): A person who's both stupid and an butthole.

you realize it was your money to start with.
4. Reintarnation (n.): 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 (n.): Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting laid.
7. Giraffiti (n.): Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

9. Inoculatte (n.): To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
10. Hipatitis (n.): Terminal coolness.
11. Osteopornosis (n.): A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

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.

15. Dopeler effect (n.): The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when
they come at you rapidly.
16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've
