NEW DEFINITIONS

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 2002 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 wit 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.
