New Word Order

Steve just sent me a mail that made me laugh so I thought I would share the best bits with you.

The Washington Post's annual Style Invitational asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

The winner was Ignoranus and I bet we all know a few of them - A person who's both stupid and an asshole at the same time.

Here are some others I liked;

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

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

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray painted very, very high.

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

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

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (this one got extra credit)
