I laughed.

The Washington Post's Mensa 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 2005
winners:

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

2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

3. 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.

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

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

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. (This one got
extra credit.)

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

13. Glibido: All talk and no action.

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

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

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

17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding
half a worm in the fruit you're eating.And the overall winner:

18. Ignoranus(aka a 'rep'): A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Yeah, it's amazing that they'd know that.

Those are pretty good. Here are two that I came up with myself a while ago when I was dealing with some data:

"logarrhythmia" -- A heart condition brought on by sight or use of obnoxious statistical analyses. (also works for "algorrhythmia" when having to deal with settings on certain bastardly lab equipment).

"procrastinatorious" -- A description of that one lazy dickhead who you know you'll get stuck working with on a group project.
