Examples
(listed here because I don't know how to add an example).
'Should the above become a nuisance to you, you can have an epitomy, which will surgically remove it'.
Likewise, an epitomy can be carried out to remove your on, your upon, your over, your around, your close to, your near, your besides, and/or your after.
Reportedly, the first procedure was carried out, on himself, by the great Greek gourmet, Curean.
His legacy lives on with many fine words that have benefitted from epicurtailment .
Examples are tome, of course, centre, scopalian, stle, and c fail.
The French Foreign Legion adapted some of Curean's techniques when they developed the kepitomy. The incidence of performing this procedure has diminished rapidly in recent years as, universally, the tendency, even of gentlemen, to doff their hats to ladies is considered sexist.
I hope that makes it clear, refenestration.

Alternative Ending:
'... to doff their hats to ladies is not considered politically epicorrect'.
And you can cut that out, too!
