Word Of The Day from Word Smith© 2016 Wordsmith

Word: pogonotomy
Meaning: noun: The cutting of a beard; shaving.
Usage: “[Rimsky-Korsakov] wore a professorial beard, led a dignified life, was a good family man, ...
In the total absence of filmable amours and licentious behavior in Rimsky-Korsakov’s disconcertingly placid life, the caliphs of Baghdad-on-the-Hollywood-Hills, eager to make use of his technicolor music, performed a pogonotomy on his chin and, dipping a greasy hand into a barrel of schmaltz, came up with a spectacular movie version of the Russian master’s life.”
Nicolas Slonimsky; The Listener’s Companion; Schirmer Trade Books; 2012.
