Word Fun
I love this. Every year someone emails it to me, and of course, it's purported to be this years' results (kind of like the darwin awards emails you get every year claiming to be this years winners)
The deal is, you have to take a word, and add, subtract or change one letter to form a new word with a new definition.
1. 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.
2. Cashtration (n.) The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
3. Giraffiti (n) Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
4. Sarchasm (n) The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
5. Inoculatte (v) To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
6. Hipatitis (n) Terminal coolness.
7. Osteopornosis (n) A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
8. Karmageddon (n) 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.
9. Decafalon (n.) The grilling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
10. Glibido (v) All talk and no action.
11. Dopeler effect (n) The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
12. Arachnoleptic fit (n.) The frantic dance performed just after you'veaccidentally walked through a spider web.
13. Beelzebug (n.) Satan in the form of a mosquito that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
14. Caterpallor (n.) The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating. And the pick of the literature:
15. Ignoranus (n): A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
I decided to try my own, and chose a word from this mornings Yahoo News Headlines. The word I chose ... obesity." I'm going to add an S to the beginning, and capitalize the first three letters, so it reads like this:
SOBesity (adj.) the disease of being both overweight, and a son-of-a-bitch.
Yeah I know it doesn't EXACTLY adhere to the rules, but I still thought it was kinda funny.
Anyone care to add to the list? Bet we could come up with some doozies.
These are great. I got a different one a few months ago...clever clever people!
I have no gift for this, unfortunately. I'd have to be drunk, slur two words together, and then remember to write it down. At best, I'd say something like, "Snotchos!" Nachos I'm not willing to share? Nachos the kids have sneezed in? See. I'm not good at this.
