Two words we might find useful going forward . . . . .

The Washington Post hosts what it calls the Mensa Invitational. They invited readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are three samples just to give you the idea:

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. Intaxicaton: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.


Here are the two that might be useful to the DU community:

. . . . 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

And for use right here in River City is . . . . .
. . . . Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.



Peace and love to all.
