Some funny words


Recommended Posts

From a newspaper contest (The Washington Post?) which asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the

subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

2. Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an a**hole.

3. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until

you realize it was your money to start with.

4. Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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

bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately,

shows

little sign of breaking down in the near future.

6. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of

getting laid.

[Note: this one is very popular at TF.]

7. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

8. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the

person who doesn't get it.

9. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

10. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

12. 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.

13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day

consuming only things that are good for you.

14. Glibido: All talk and no action.

15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when

they come at you rapidly.

16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after

you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into

your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in

the fruit you're eating.

P.S. Not sure how "arachnoleptic fit" actually qualified for the contest - from what is it a one letter change?

Ever heard of santorum?

--Ling

I reckon only people actively involved in the porn industry would have heard of this word.

And now TF forumites too :P

You would think so... especially given who brought up the topic here.

But actually the word santorum has become fairly well-known among younger people in North America's larger cities, thanks to media coverage of the efforts to promote the word. People actually use it for humourous effect. It began as a campaign to name something particularly vile after right-wing anti-gay Senator Rick Santorum, and the campaign has succeeded in making his name associated with that substance, and making him something of a laughing stock.
