Pogonotrophy Written by Ian Jindal on March 21, 2007. Posted in T'interwebs. pogonotrophy (po-guh-NAW-truh-fee) noun The growing of a beard. [From Greek pogon (beard) + -trophy (nourishment, growth).] Pogonology is the study of beards and pogonotomy is a fancy word for shaving. I just love Wordsmith.org 🙂 Previous Next
