Neologisms

My brother-in-law sent me this.
Thought I'd share.


Bozone is my favorite.
1. Bozone (n.): The substance surrounding stupid people
 that stops bright ideas from penetrating. The bozone layer, 
unfortunately, shows little sign of breaking down in
the near future.

Although Arachnoleptic fit is a close second.
13. Arachnoleptic fit (n.): The frantic dance performed 
just after you've accidentally walked through a spider web.

roof and gets stuck there.

subtracting, or changing one letter, and supply
a new definition.
