The Washington Post's Style Invitational once again 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 this year's winners:


1. 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.

2. Cashtration (n.) The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.

3. Giraffiti (n) Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.

4. Sarchasm (n) The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.

5. Inoculatte (v) To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

6. Hipatitis (n) Terminal coolness.

7. Osteopornosis (n) A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

8. Karmageddon (n) 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.

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

10. Glibido (v) All talk and no action.

11. Dopeler effect (n) The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

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

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

14. Caterpallor (n.) The color you turn after finding half a grub in the fruit you're eating.


And the pick of the literature:

15. Ignoranus (n): A person who's both stupid and an asshole.

Hey Tiny;

In trying to stick with Mr. Bill's rules about Chevy related stuff, how 'bout this angle?
1938 Busyness Coupe (n): The thing that keeps us here busy all the time.

Bill's the boss. However this is a direct copy & paste from the header of this forum:
"Here is a place to discuss some non-auto topics with other Chevy people.

These could include: Trailers, Memorabilia, Toys, Traveling, Fraternal organizations, Jobs, College, Genealogy, Computers, etc."

This topic and my other posting, which were both intended to be humerous, is a "non-auto topic being discussed with other Chevy people".

While it would be wise to ban discussions of politics & religion as other forums have, my postings here have and will continue be on topic and following the rules. Having said that I will go beyond the posted rules and not start a thread that could be considered to be political or religious....or I guess humerous either since this thread is neither political or religious.

Hey Tiny...

In the spirit of making our Chev Chatter work better without costing us more money for storage, I respectfully re-post Bill Barker's Post from earlier in December 2005. Read This.

How about

1936 trick - A stock looking Sedan Delivery with big block V-8?

Chefy - A Chevrolet that cooks.

Muster Deluxe - An assemblage of restored '37-42 Chevrolets.

Baby Grind - An old Chevy touring that will not start.

Do these fit?

On the ball Chipper!
Hey Tiny, don't get me wrong, I happen to laugh my butt off with those from the Post.
I just figured with the risk of getting locked out that we try some car stuff.
Like; Belhair - Hairdo while riding in a 57 convertible.

A Cannedpony Express for a dog food salesman.

Or like this;
Roadstery (v)- The act of lowering or raising the canvas top.

Sport Coup' (n)- The sudden decision to have my Coupe finished by a restoration shop.
