Word Meaning Contest

  The 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:

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.

  getting laid.

5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the

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

   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

   bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
