Gh0st Face Killah

Each year the Washington Post invites 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 2001 winners.
Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts
until you 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
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:

Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
