Spel Chek?c

From The Washington Post.

Obviously, I had to have my fun, too. Enjoy!

The Washington Post's Style Invitational asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting or changing one letter, and supply a new definition. Here are some recent winners:

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

Frankly, I resnt the slur on hillbillies. I think it should read like this:

Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a liberal democrat.

Foreploy: Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of obtaining sex.

Dunno. Doesn't it depend on what the meaning of "is" , is?

Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high

Call PETA. What are those giraffes high on, anyway?

Tatyr: A lecherous Mr. Potato Head.

Fool around with him ladies, and you're likely to have Tater Tots!

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

Proof exists just by reading the trolls who infest sites like Misha's. Read the comment thead from this post, and you'll find ample proof of Sarchasm! I think they've had humorectomies, anyway.

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

I have too much blood in my coffeestream.

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

There is no cure, I'm told. ;-)

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

It's contagious. Watch for carriers of this condition.

Burglesque: A poorly planned break-in. (See: Watergate)

Watergate my ass. Dozens of far better examples are easily found on superior blogs.

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.

No, the Earth doesn't explode. The donk party implodes.

Glibido: All talk and no action.

See previous reference to "sarchasm".

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

Which describes the thought process appeasemosocialist indoctrinated bleatings of the donk candidates.

Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a refund from the IRS, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

That's a good way to identify who are sheep, and who are wolves. The sheep are eternally intaxified.

Ignoranus: A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

A great definition, but it works better with examples and illustrations.

Websters will never be the same.

I realize that the links to Moore and Barbra were illustrative of the point, but I just hate knowing that I have now been counted as a new visit on each of those sites, and without foreknowledge. Would I have linked over to either? Hell, no!

Ignoranus is the best!

Tina, I happen to agree. :-) Ms Anna? Easy to avoid. When you hover your cursor over a given hyperlink, before clicking, look at the tray at the lower left of your browser.

It'll show you where that link would take you. The decision to click or not from there, is yours.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for the information, Jim. Now, I'll have to just hit that F11 to reduce the screen so I can see the lower line. One of these days, I promise myself, I'm going to hook up the bigger, better, CPU and wide screen I have sitting on the floor. Still hate the idea of all the software crap I'll have to go through to change over. But, my grandnephew will get a kick about "getting smart" using this computer with the educational games he enjoys. What's more important, my sanity, or my grandnephew increasing his educational skills? My grandnephew, of course! Thanks for the tip and reminder, again, Jim.
