Lee's Funnies
The "Washington Post" sponsored a Style Invitational, asking readers
to take any word from the dictionary; alter it by adding, subtracting
or changing one letter; and supply a new definition. Here are some
recent winners:
Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the reader
who doesn't get it.
Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very high.
Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
obtaining sex.
Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously.
Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.
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.
Glibido: All talk and no action.
Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they
come at you rapidly.
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a refund from the IRS, which lasts
until you realize it was your money to start with.
Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
