Tarryk, I have a new word for you...

Postby Innari » Wed Feb 22, 2006 2:29 pm

From the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational which 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 (2005) winners:

1. Cashtration: The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
((Tarryk, that's the one for you right there ^^ ...to use on other people. Not calling you that :P ))

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: 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. 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.

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 things that are good for you

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

14. Glibido: All talk and no action.

15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

16. Arachnoleptic fit: The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

17. Beelzebug: Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

18. Caterpallor: The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

Haha, those are GREAT!

I think these ones would also be quite useful when DJing.

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

I like the whole list. And I have used "Ignoranus" quite a few times in my life, yes. Still, it's good to finally have some reference material on it. :D

Although a bit of a deviation from the original post, this reminded me of Sniglets. :)

Agreed much, this concept was long overdue for an applied term. I'll be using this one. :)
