The Washington Post's Mensa 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 {2005} 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 asshole.
3. Intaxication: 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. Hipatitis: Terminal coolness.
11. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra
credit.)
12. 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.
13. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the
day consuming only things that are good for you.
14. Glibido: All talk and no action.
15. Dopeler effect: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter
when they come at you rapidly.
16. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed just
after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.
17. Beelzebug (n.): Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets
into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.
18. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a
worm in the fruit you're eating.

In the Daily Mail, they used to have a very small section where someone would send in words that they'd made up similar to those above. It would only feature maybe one or two words. I haven't seen this section for quite a while though. Shame because it always made me smile and giggle.
We definitely need more humour! :D
Very funny :D
LOL :D

Here are a couple of my own ... they are old now so forgive me if I've posted them before:
UNSULT - to try to cover up for an inadvertent insult, eg, by saying "Oh I didn't mean ..." etc
UNVITE - to invite someone who you feel duty-bound to invite, and hope that they won't turn up
And a new one ...
POLTERGRAST - an unquiet spirit who informs on law-breakers
