New Words in the Dictionary

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.
Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high

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