Neologisms

[Bob Fitzke]

Here's a list of neologisms making the internet rounds:

The Washington Post's Style Invitational 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 some recent winners:

realize
it was your money to start with.

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of
getting
laid.

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person
who
doesn't get it.

Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (this one got extra credit)

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.

Glibido: All talk and no action.

Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they
come at
you rapidly.

And, the pick of the literature:
