Fictionary

Each year the Washington Post's Style Invitational asks readers to take any word from the dictionary and alter it by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter and then supply a new definition.

These were some of the winners in 2001:

1 Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realise it was your money to start with
.
2 Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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

4 Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

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

6 Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

7 Dopeler Effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
