Couldn't have said it better myself...

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 some of the winners:

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

Intaxication : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
(I know, right?)

Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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.

Giraffiti : Vandalism spray-painted very, very high

Sarchasm : The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
(This is my favorite!)

Inoculatte : To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
(If only this were real...)

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 grueling 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.
(I can totally see this! But, I totally can't say it!)

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

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

Does anybody have any of their own they'd like to contribute?
