kirk circumcision Kirkumcision
lend (wombo) of Kirk + podium + precision, after the model of circumcision. Coined by Professor Sendy (2026). The form deliberately echoes circumcision both in sound and in its underlying sense of trimming away excess, here applied to verbiage rather than flesh; the verb kirkumcise and participle kirkumcised follow by back-formation.
