miked10270 0 #1 March 14, 2001 Hi there,This post comes as a sort of query.... Some words seem more appropriate when mis-spilled slightly... Like "Californica".There was a competition run by a newspaper along these lines recently - add, subtract or change ONE letter in a word & supply the definition. The 2 that stick in my mind were "Dopeler Effect" (the way stupid ideas seem smarter if they come at you at high speed) & "Ignoranus" (someone who's stupid AND an asshole).Anyone out there got more? Anyone think up any skydiving related ones? Like "Freakfall" (I wasn't unstable, that position WAS deliberate).Mike D10270. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
