    Post Word Games

    In the same way that we have started to add the 'L' to 'user' to give us a new word that is both descriptive and apt, I give you this list. Found, I admit, by a mate [I do sleep sometimes ]

    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 this year's winners.

    Bozone (n.): 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.

    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.

    Giraffiti: Vandalism spray painted very, very high.

    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 off all these really bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it's like, a serious bummer.

    Decafalon (n.): The gruelling event of getting through the day consuming only 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.

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

    Caterpallor (n.): The colour you turn after ! finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.

    Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an *******.
    so now I'm in my SIXTIES FFS
    WTAF, how did that happen, so no more alterations to the sig, it will remain as is now

    Quitmzilla is a firefox extension that gives you stats on how long you have quit smoking, how much money you\'ve saved, how much you haven\'t smoked and recent milestones. Very helpful for people who quit smoking and used to smoke at their computers... Helps out with the urges.
