The Washington Post's Style 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 2003's winners:

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 xlayer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near fture.

4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

6. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray painted very, very high.

7. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

8. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

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 (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things 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 (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.

And the pick of the literature:

18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Buchette ... A tool used by corporations to clear a path through common sense and cut a swath throught the enviorment wide enough for an oil rig to drive through. Remarkably though, it is an effective tool despite being rather dull.

Ok, so this doesn't exactly follow this thread but it made me think of it and I'm feeling cranky so I'm making you read it here anyhow...so deal with it.

Last year when my daughter was 6 she was learning to spell her first words with apostrophe's - she would spell her spelling words out loud each night, really proud like those spelling bee kids you see on the news... For a long time she couldn't remember how to pronounce "apostrophe" so it came out different ways each time...popostroopy, fofostrappy, sapostrapper...was really funny. The best one was the one that my family still uses to this day:

"D-I-D-N nasal flake T...Didn't." Wtf??? Where does this stuff come from in their little minds?
