<li><strong>Reintarnation</strong> : Coming back to life as a hillbilly.</li>
<li><strong>Bozone</strong> ( 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.</li>
<li><strong>Foreploy</strong> : Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose of getting laid.</li>
<li><strong>Giraffiti </strong>: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.</li>

<li><strong>Osteopornosis</strong> : A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)</li>

<li><strong>Glibido</strong> : All talk and no action.</li>
<li><strong>Dopeler Effect</strong>: The tendency of stupid ideas to seem smarter when they come at you rapidly.</li>

<li><strong>Beelzebug</strong> (n.) : Satan in the form of a mosquito, that gets into your bedroom at three in the morning and cannot be cast out.</li>
<li><strong>Caterpallor</strong> ( n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you&#8217;re eating.</li>
</ol>
<p>The Interweb Gazette is now extending this contest to <strong>YOU</strong>!
