Best New Words-- Got Any?

[Jean]

The Washington Post's Style 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 the 2003

Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
Reintarnation: Coming back to life as a hillbilly.
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.
Foreploy Any misrepresentation about yourself for the purpose
of getting laid.
Cashtration (n.): The act of buying a house, which renders the
subject financially impotent for an indefinite period.
Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high.
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.
Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease. (This one got extra credit.)
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.
Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
Glibido: All talk and no action

Any of you folks got any other good new words?

I represent that......But swampy is more into the computer posting then I am, :lol: the rest I am guilty of.

Heck, I was just putting together an old Army cot that I haven't used in years trying to figure out a way to use it and have a good idea on how to do it for camping. Bug proof, rain proof, very comfortable and the whole mess can be set up in a flash or even quicker. Stay tuned in for the results.

Chuck. always looking for a better way to do things for camping and save some $$$ while doing it

 

[Swampy]

a $200 Army cot is cheap? :lol:
Keep the hammock and design around that....
Cabelas has some great cots to get ideas from

swampy
and yes, tis you I had in mind... :wink:

 

[oldsparkey]

Cost of the cot $0.00 got it years and years and years ago , back during the Seminole Wars here in Florida with Gen Jackson. A few years before Fla became a state and Jack was out west with that merryweather guy.

Friends Ole Sparkey & Swampy,

I jest got off the phone tellin' the campmor folks ta send me the Fat Man Slumberjack cot. I aint ever paid fer a cot before. I always figgered sleepin' on the ground in cold weather wuz warmer'n off the ground.

Back in '94 the ice storm done us like that Steve King movie bout Little Tall (Storm of the Century). They had ta send power crews frum North Caroliney, Tennessee, Georgia 'n some other spots. We wuz down fer 2-3 weeks in the big towns. Some country folks wuz off fer 2-3 months. It torn down ever dang lite pole fer miles 'n miles. 30-40 years ole trees too.

The Nation Guard fellas (they look a lot like soldiers, but they aint really) come in too. They brung in a heap a army cots. When it come time ta leave, they left all the cots. I got two. I reckon thats how come it costs so much ta run a army.

I'm too tall fer the cot 'n after 3-4 years a tryin' Miz Bear sez "why dont ya jest git a cot that ya kin lay in?" [Aint that jest like a woman?] :wink:

I know it aint a hammock 'n I know its jest over 20 pounds, but most all my campin' iz in a tent with Miz Bear.

So Chuck, keep on with yer thinkin'. I'll be ready fer a brite idea in a week. :lol:

regards,

bearridge

Oh true ol' wise one. But for the humble masses to get started, it is way to late to join the armed services to get a free cot....
A Coleman at around $50 is good inside a regular tent. Just folds out without the cursing needed to lock in that second end slat on a cot. If ya can get it to lock!
To get a wall to surround you in a cot, would bloom it out to the size of a three person tent anyways. Else a lot of wet mornings where ya would have touched the walls durring the night. :x

Maybe a PVC frame around your cot with some of your masterful box (s)making to place about the inside of the fly.
Then consider a small table... lamps... kitchen outfit... chairs... Harry's toilet....
Then of course this makes camping with the bride a more comfortable experince thus adding more groceries to the supply/weight problem. :wink:
I can see it now... Chuck pulling up in an eighteen wheeler at the landing. After pulling out a five sectioned barge, linking up, and unloading the gear, his bride asks," Where's the eggs going to go?" :shock:

yer humble servant, swampy
