TAKE A WORD...

...any word from the dictionary.  Alter it by adding,  subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are the winners:

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

2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
 
3. Intaxicaton: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
 
4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
 
5. 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.

6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
 
7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high
 
8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
 
9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
 
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.

 Once again, Frank is the culprit.

UPDATE: Petty Witter's contributions to the list:
Much harder than it sounds but I had hours of fun only to come up with the following ..........

Crimate: A monkey with a criminal record.
Fate Mail: Correspondence sent by astrologers.
Manxiety: A mental health condition suffered by self obsessed males.
Penopausal: Writers Block as suffered by some female authors of a certain age.

Like!  I will definitely use 'manxiety' in the future, and I may also appropriate 'penopausal' though I'm past the sell-by date.
