WotM

Eviscerate:

  • resect: surgically remove a part of a structure or an organ
  • remove the contents of; "eviscerate the stomach"
  • disembowel: remove the entrails of; "draw a chicken"
  • take away a vital or essential part of; "the compromise among the parties eviscerated the bill that had been proposed"
  • having been disembowelled
I heard this word (actually eviscerated) in Keith Olberman's reaction to the 9-11 themed video that was shown at the RNC.
