Each year the Washington Post's Style Invitational asks readers to take any
word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing only
one letter and supplying a new definition.
Here are the 2002 winners:
1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts only until
you realize it was your money to start with.
2. Fauxplay: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting
laid.
3. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
4. Giraffiti: Vandalism painted very, very high.
5. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who
doesn't get it.
6. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
7. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
8. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. This one got extra credit.
9. 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 burner.
10. Glibido: All talk and no action.
11. Dopeer Effect: The tendency for stupid ideas to seem smarter when they
come at you rapidly.
And, the winner of the Washington Post's Style Invitational:
12. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
