Cat&Chaos Jocose

EDIT2: I HAVE DUG OUT THIS POST FROM THE DEEP AND PLAN TO KEEP IT ON TOP OF THE PILE TILL NOMINATIONS COME THRU AND AWARDS GIVEN !!!

EDIT1: APOLOGIES....IT IS THE W.P. STYLE INVITATIONAL AND NOT "MENSA" AS MENTIONED EARLIER.
ALL MATERIAL APPEARING ON THIS POST IS COPYRIGHTED.
In the true tradition of the the Washington Post STYLE Contest, I throw open the Cat&Chaos Contest .Thanks Aman, for the gentle goad! :-).

Stirred but not shaken (?), anyways here goes......

Aberrent: the prevailing rentals which deviate from what is normal or desirable.

Paradice :a place, situation, or condition in which a gambler finds perfect happiness.

Penny Envy: in psychoanalysis, the theory that some girls' and women's psychological problems stem from a sense of deprivation about not having (earned ) penny(s) .Very few psychologists now accept this concept.

Mento(s)pause: A time in a woman's life when stimulation diminishes and ceases, usually between the ages of 32 and 42 and she then has to pop 2 Mentos in her mouth.

You're welcome.

Isn't the objective to find new meanings for existing words? Or are we allowed to dream up new words?

Put this up on Facebook or a link on Facebook, inviting friends.

A.I. said...

If we go to the link to the Washington Mensa Contest, we notice that a letter is either added or removed or replaced with another to get a brand new word which can be twisted to have a funny new meaning.

Puns are always fun too.
