New Word Challenge
For all you wordsmiths out there this is your chance to exercise that grey matter and make new words.
I first saw this following a Washington Post competition, the original idea was to take a word from the English language and by adding, removing or changing only one letter create a new word.
Some of the results are pure genius;
Foreploy: any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of obtaining sex.
Giraffiti: vandalism spray-painted very, very high, such as seen on bridges
Sarchasm: the gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the recipient who doesn’t get it.
Impotience: eager anticipation by men awaiting their Viagra prescription.
Inoculatte: to take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
Writer’s tramp: a woman who practices poetic licentiousness to attract men on dating sites
Goodzilla: a giant lizard that puts out forest fires by stamping on them.
Genitaliar: an image-enhancing object that can be carried in a man’s front pocket.
Antifun gal: a prude.
Dopeler effect: the tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.
Intaxication: euphoria at getting a refund from the Taxman, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Glibido: all talk and no action.
Zapathy: sudden lack of compassion
Cattitude: when your cat thinks it rules the house.... oh hang on it does
Whinery: a bistro where people express their dissatisfaction with the world over a glass of red or white

A couple from the Spelling Police:-
Convertable - A car that changes into a table.
Definate - Describe food you've eaten.
