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.
