some definitions...snerk

Post by wicked » Nov 17th 2004, 5:18 pm

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 the 2003 winners:

BOZONE (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The Bozone Layer, unfortunately, shows little signs of breaking down in the near future.

INTAXICATION: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

REINTARNATION: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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

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

INOCULATTE: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

HIPATITIS: Terminal coolness.

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

KARMAGEDDON: It's like, when everybody is sending of these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

DECAFALON (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only the things that are good for you.

DOPELER EFFECT: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

ARACHNOLEPTIC FIT (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

CATERPALLOR (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you are eating.

And the pick of the bunch:

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

Wicked, that is soooooooo funny!

I think I suffer form the DOPELER EFFECT quite often.
Moltar- Well hey, Thom asked me if he could see my knife, and Thom's doing a song about knife, and he wanted to see what one looked like. Isn't that right Thom? (Pulls out knife again)
Space Goast- (Turns to Thom Yorke) Is that right?
Thom- ...No.
Space Goast- Cuz it sounds like a good idea... so do it.

In many way's there is more truth to this than I care to admit. The name of the town I live in is Bozeman. The Bozone is aweekly event paper, and The Bozeman Brewing Company makes Bozone Beer.

I think IGNORANUS is my favorite. Really funny, wicked!
Um, in my room, one seam is a little off and I stare at it constantly. It's, like, destroying me.

These are my favourites - but they were all good! :rofl:

NM, I'm pretty sure I've been to Bozeman. :) I'm going to look it up...
