    Apparently this has been around for years but I was only introduced to it recently!

    "A game whereby you take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition."
    My favourite new one supplied by a colleague:

    poocrastination (N): When you really need to do a number 2 but too lazy to get out of bed.

    So clever word-smiths of AH, can you come up with any better ones?

    Here's the list of current ones: http://washingtonpostsmensainvitational.com/
    1. Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject
    financially impotent for an indefinite period of time.

    2. Ignoranus : A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

    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.

    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. Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

    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 gruelling 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.
