Here is the Washington Post's Mensa Invitational, which 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 the winners:
. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.
Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
The Washington Post has also published the winning submissions to its yearly contest, in which readers are asked to supply alternate meanings for common words. And the winners are:
esplanade, v. to attempt an explanation while drunk.
negligent, adj. absentmindedly answering the door when wearing only a nightgown.
lymph, v. to walk with a lisp.
pokemon, n.. a Rastafarian proctologist.
Frisbeetarianism, n. the belief that, after death, the soul flies up onto the roof and gets stuck there.
