Lord Noel's Intelligent Thingys

Whatto! Mensa colleagues...........


As a leading member of Mensa I was interested to read about Washington Post's Mensa Invitational Challenge...............
The idea is to take a word from the dictionary.................
.....then alter it by adding, deleting, or changing one letter............
......and supply a new definition!
Sounds simple doesn't it!
Well maybe YOU should join MENSA too!

Euchoria - The feeling one gets when all the chores are done
Paymeant: your cheque is in the post - honestly!
Obfuscage: to catch something by confusing it.
Intaxication: The splendid feeling one gets when getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realise that it was your money anyway.
Reintarnation: Coming back to life as an American Hillbilly
Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating into their brains. Unfortunately, the bozone layer shows little sign of breaking down in the near future.
Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out
Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the subject financially impotent for an awfully long time.
Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high up.
Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn’t get it
Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late
Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
Karmageddon: "It’s like, when everybody is sending off these bad vibes, right? And then, like, the Earth explodes and it’s like, a serious bummer!"
Glibido: All talk and no action
Dopeler effect: The tendency for stupid people to seem smarter as they arrive than when they leave.
Inclouded: added in order to obfuscate (see above)
Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just after you’ve accidentally walked through a spider web.
Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you’re eating.

Tallyho!
Best Wishes - Lord Noel & Lady Jacqueline
