Now I want to let you know upfront that I only forward them I do not create them. Some are not so politically correct so if someone gets offended, I apologize in advance.
I'll try to keep them as clean as possible. You can also let me know what you think in the comments section.

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.
3. Intaxicaton: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realise it was your money to start with.
4. Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.
5. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high
6. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
7. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
8. Glibido: All talk and no action.
9. Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
10. Caterpallor ( n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
