Washington Post's Mensa Invitational 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 this year's winners:

Reintarnation Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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.

Aww someone new I was havign a bad day and posted some fun with grammar to cheer me up! (SInce we know its all about me.) Thanks for the awesome definitions. I think I may use some of those in my daily vernacular, such as Inoculatte, since I'm always needing the caffeine and am always running late.
More fun is adding saurus to the back of most words, just for a little dino humor if you can get off on that. The Mathosaurus is calling however so I guess I should go rub his back a little!
Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?
