I’m not sure if it is completely correct in calling these neologisms (after consulting the msn encarta dictionary) - but they are entrants in the Washington Post’s ‘Style Invitational’, and are words made from other words by adding, subtracting or changing one letter. Then you have to come up with a clever definition of the new word.

Ignoranus: A person who’s both stupid and an asshole.

Bozone: The substance surrounding stupid people that stops bright ideas from penetrating.

Inoculatte: To take coffee intravenously when you are running late.

Osteopornosis: A degenerate disease.

Decafalon: The grueling event of getting through the day consuming only things that are good for you.

Arachnoleptic Fit: The frantic dance performed just after you’ve walked through a spider web

Adiposure: Someone who exaggerates their weight at the beginning of a diet so his “loss” will be more impressive.

Contestosterone: The hormone that accounts for why 14 of 15 all time top ‘Style Invitational’ losers are male. Females instead have the hormone havealifeogen.

Or some true neologisms from the past:

Coffee: The person on whom one coughs

Flabbergasted: Appalled at discovering how much weight one has gained.

Abdicate: to give up all hope of ever having a flat stomach.

Lymph: To walk with a lisp.

Flatulence” An emergency vehicle that picks up someone who has been run over by a steamroller.
