The Washington Post used to have a yearly contest, challenging its readers to take a word from the dictionary and delete, add, or change only one letter and write a definition for this new word.
Here are some of the best ones:
Intoxication = Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Reincarnation: = Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
Graffiti = Giraffiti: Vandalism painted very very high.
Sarcasm = Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who does not get it.
and the winner is: (drumroll)
Ignoramus = Ignoranus: A person who is both stupid and an asshole.
