Some words, if you ignore their actual definitions, are prime candidates to be given a new definition. One that comes to mind is "revamp", which I'd define as...
Revamp: To make an ex-vampire into a vampire.
Of course you'd need to devamp a vampire first, which is just silly. Are there any words you've come across that'd lend themselves well to a hypothetical definition?

Surely a revamp does the opposite of an amplifier?
