 |  | 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 this year's {2005} winners: 
 1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
 
 See the rest...
 |  | 2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
 
 3. Intaxication:  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. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
 
 11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.  (This one got extra credit.)
 
 12. 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.
 
 13. Decafalon (n.):  The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
 
 14. Glibido: All talk and no action.
 
 15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
 
 16. Arachnoleptic fit (n! .): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
 
 17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at  three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
 
 18.  Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
