    The Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again 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 the winners:

    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.

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

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

    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 grueling event of getting through the day
    consuming only things that are good for you.

    13. Glibido: All talk and no action.

    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.
