DICTIONARY LIBERTIES
The Washington Post's "Style Invitational" once again asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Winners:
~ Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
~ Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
~ Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
~ Glibido: All talk and no action.
~ 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.
~ Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.
That first one is painted: the direction of the light changes from one side to the other. The gold is, shall we say, enhanced.
ReplyDeleteNot quite with the rules, but, chalkolate: the cheap stale stuff at the drugstore on a late-night run (and why one never buys it there).
I'm lucky in that sometimes there's a hole in my personal Bozone layer and some smarts sneaks in.
