The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing of one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are the 2005 winners:
CASHTRATION (n): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
INTAXICATION: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
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.
FOREPLOY: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
SARCHASM: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
OSTEOPORNOSIS: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
CATERPALLOR (n): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
