The Washington Post's "Style Invitational" asked readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding or changing one letter, and supply a new definition.

Reintarnation: coming back to life as a hillbilly.

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.

Dopeler effect: the tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.

Tatyr: A lecherous Mr. Potato Head.

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

Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.

Glibido: All talk and no action.
