Bloom's Bouquet of Imaginary Words

I recently stumbled across a book called Bloom's Bouquet of Imaginary Words, a collection of phony words, along with their definitions, created by adding, sebstracting, or switching just one letter in as already existing word. Examples:

Domasticated: a wild animal trained to chew politely
Racoonteur: a small, bushy-tailed, anecdotal mammal
Balonely: lunchmeat for singles
Luftwaffle: German air force traditional breakfast
Bracist: having an irrational hostility towardorthodontic appliances
Sherpes: a skin disease common to Tibetan mountain-climbers
Doledrums: a feeling of despondency after eating canned pineapple
Princest: sexual relations with a royal-blood relative
Sharem: a sultan's invitation to his friends
Dicktator: unpopular national leader
Pretaliation: offical justification for U.S. invasion of Iraq
Polstergeist: Gallup's ghost
Kohlrabbi: a kind of cabbage served at some synagogues
Violince: a stringed instrument played with great passion
Bungaloo: small, cozy bathroom
Steamina: having the energy to keep ironing
Castroturf: Cuban ground
Tumblesweed: a Scandinavian gymnast
