from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one
letter, and supply a new definition.

Here are this year¹s winners:

1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright

of breaking down in the near future.

getting laid.
3. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject

5. Sarchasm (n): The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person
who doesn¹t get it.
6. Inoculatte (v): To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
7. Hipatitis (n): Terminal coolness.
8. Osteopornosis (n): A degenerate disease.
9. Karmageddon (n): Its like, when everybody is sending off all these really
bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it¹s like, a
serious bummer.
10 Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming
only things that are good for you.
11. Glibido (v): All talk and no action.
12. Dopeler effect (n): The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when
they come at you rapidly.
13. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you¹ve
accidentally walked through a spider web.

bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
15. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the
fruit you¹re eating.
