Excellent! Wonder why it isn't "plastectomy" (with an extra "t")?

I heard this word in an interview with Ramsey on 60 Minutes. I'm sure he said "plasectomy" (without the "t"). When I looked up the word, I found it spelled both ways so I went with what I thought was his pronunciation.

Wow, now that we finally have a word for cutting up one's credit cards, cutting up one's credit cards doesn't actually work. (You can still buy stuff online, for example.)

Perhaps an "internectomy" is called for in that case.

Ha! I'd probably just shrivel up and die after an internectomy. ;-)

I can't live without our interns at work. No way. I would definitely shrivel up and die with an internectomy.
