Entry: phalluctomy (n.)
Definition: Care to take a guess?
The OED doesn’t have an entry, but I would venture “Surgical excision of part or all of the phallus; an instance of this.”
Other: If
you think dictionaries are dryasdust (adj.: Extremely ‘dry’, as a
writer, book, or subject of study.) then you’d be well-advised to take
an evening to really sink your teeth into the OED’s entries on phallus.
