Title: words
Post by kennycreed on 11/12/10 at 13:22:45

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 not a very nice person.

3. Intaxicaton : Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.

4. Reintarnation : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.

5. Bozone ( n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.


6. Foreploy : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.

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

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

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

10. Osteopornosis : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

11. 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.

12. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

13.. Glibido : All talk and no action.

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

15. Arachnoleptic Fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

16. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.

17. Caterpallor ( n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.

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

Here's an anecdote.

A few months ago I was at the International Terminal in Rome Airport, waiting for my flight to the US.
I was in line at the bar waiting to pay for a coffee (espresso, what else?) when I hear some commotion from further down the bar.
I understand it is a young (high school graduate?) US tourist arguing with a bartender,  and, knowing how things get sour because of "lost in translation" I volunteer my help as an interpreter.

"I wanted a LATTE - cries the young lad - and all I got was... this..." he points to a glass of steaming hot white milk.
I look at the bartender.
"He asked for a glass of milk, he got a glass of milk, he won't pay for it" snarls the bartender.
His eyes are bloodshot, I understand he's only minutes away from stepping down form his night shift, and is not happy with the kid.

I see both their points.

LATTE in NYC is a huge mug of... whitish stuff with maybe some coffee in it (I don't know, I'm not going to pollute my tastebuds with castrated cow juice...)

LATTE in Italian is MILK, pure and simple.

As in Rome, do as the Romans.

DO NOT ask for something which in your country means "apples" but in the native language, in that nation, means "oranges".

I explained this to the kid, who cried out bloody blasphemy (they had ruined his idea of a LATTE) and it took quite a bit of cool nerves and diplomacy to explain to him that in Italy, in Italian, LATTE is a baby's drink, a glass of milk, pure and simple, he got what he asked for in the native language and he better pay for it, or else.

"Or else what? - he challenged me - I'm an American!"

The kid felt somebody tap his shoulder and turned.
The Police were there.
The bartender definitely wanted to go home at the end of his night shift, and had called the Police (we don't use private security, we have the Police, period).

Pay or stay.

He paid, and they made sure he drank it down to the last drop (you don't want an upset kid to spill it all over the place...)

So, when in Rome... DRINK WINE !!!  :D :D :D

;)

Aspirin: over-the-counter contraceptive best used when you run out of sexcuses.
Dosage: take one pill (two in the extreme circumstances) and SQUEEZE HARD between your knees.
Contraception guaranteed !!!  ;)
