"Banectomy, n.: The removal of bruises on a banana." - Rich Hall, "Sniglets"

A peculiar term popped up this morning in a wide-ranging conversation about fruit and falls. Banectomy, n.: The removal of bruises on a banana, is a sniglet coined by comedian Rich Hall in the late 1980s. The term was featured in his book "Sniglets: Types of Mindroje Glossary," detailing the informal definitions and often quirky names given to observations of everyday life. Hall's compilation aimed to explain the modern colloquialisms and phenomena that slipped through the cracks of traditional dictionaries.
