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. Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)

Re: Mensa Invitational 2011

These are great!!! LOL!!

However, my one question...

Reintardation doesn't seem to follow the rules b/c it changed two letters, not one (the "t" and "d"). Or am i missing something?? Lol.

Re: Mensa Invitational 2011

The rules say you can add a word so I think they added tard to reincarnation and only removed the letter c.

Re: Mensa Invitational 2011

AHHH found out the error..

The word was actually "Reintarnation" NOT reintardation...


Makes sense now.

The website the OP copied it from must have written it wrong.

I'm a dork for even noticing, i know..
