New words proposals

The  Washington Post's Mensa Invitational once again invited  readers to take any word from  the dictionary, alter it  by adding, subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply a  new definition.

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.

11. 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.

12. Decafalon (n.):  The  grueling event of getting through the day consuming only  things that are good for  you.

13. Glibido : All talk  and no action.
