Some people just don't get the sarchasm

A friend recently sent me this great list of invented words and definitions, each concocted by changing or adding a single letter in a real word. As far as I can tell, these are past entries from one of the Washington Post's Style Invitational contests.
I hope they make you smile. And if you have one of your own, please share.
