    The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again
    asked readers to take any word from the dictionary,

    letter, and supply a new definition.

    Here are this year's winners:

    2. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly

    3. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid
    people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The
    bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of

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

    5. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which

    9. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

    10. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

    11. 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.

    12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting
    through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

    13. Glibido: All talk and no action.

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

    15. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance
    performed just after you've accidentally walked
    through a spider web.

    16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito,
    that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning
    and cannot be cast out.

    17. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding
    half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

    And My Favourite!!
    18. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.
