Check Your Bozone at the Door

The Washington Post recently announced the annual winners of its Mensa Invitational in which readers are asked to take any word from the dictionary and alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter. Entries must also supply the new word's definition. Some of the winners include:

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly
Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately shows little signs of breaking down in the near future
Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
Decafalon: The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
Hipatitis: Terminal coolness
Caterpallor: The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you've been eating.

Any takers?
