We Are In the Business of Words...

submitted by Martha Hutchings

I was told about the Washington Post's Style Invitational and couldn't resist sharing some of the winners. Court reporters love this!! I'm guessing the reporters accepting assignments from Hutchings could create lists of their own too!

1. Intaxication: Euphoria at getting a tax refund, which lasts until you realize it was your money to start with.
2. Giraffiti: Vandalism spray-painted very, very high
3. Sarchasm: The gulf between the author of sarcastic wit and the person who doesn't get it.
4. Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.
5. Decafalon (n.): The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.
6. Flibido: All talk and no action.
7. Caterpallor (n.): The color you turn after finding half a worm in the fruit you're eating.
