Joan at Daddy’s Roses has a contest going on to create words . . . well, I’ll let her tell you:

According to a couple of questionable sources the Washington Post hosts an annual contest asking its readers to take any word from the dictionary, alter it by adding, subtracting,or changing only one letter, and then supply a new definition. This contest has been referred to as The Mensa Invitational.

You can visit Daddy’s Roses to see the examples that Joan has provided.  Here are my contributions:

bivocal - The ability to talk and blog at the same time

sobnoxious - an adjective describing someone who cries so much it’s annoying

bamboobled - what happens when men are tricked as a result of being distracted by large-breasted women 

debilicake - to be sick from eating too much pastry
