Dear Loser, Aspiring Loser or General Hanger-On: ALbums + coLOGNE: Al-logne: Perfume that’s guaranteed to keep you from being bothered. AMERIca + disproPORTIONATELY: Ameri-portionately: Super-sized. EFfort + AfGHANISTAN: Ef-ghanistan: What Americans reply when they're asked about our longest war. They're some winners of our recurring Hyphen the Terrible contest, in which you find two hyphenated words and recombine them to make a new word. See this week's contest for instructions. And we have the results of our perennial Ask Backwards contest, where we supply the answers ("149 yards rushing," "cockroach milk," etc.) and the Losers give us the questions. This week's winner addresses "waist-slimming compression wrap." In my online column, The Style Conversational, I share some greatest hits from our 17 previous Hyphen the Terrible contests.
