I suppose if somebody really objected to "mutilation" and "deforma-
tion" as descriptive labels you could shut them up by asking if they
would accept "body hacking", "hole punching", "needlepuncture paint",
or "head bending", to cite some obvious crudities.

I thought "mutilation" and "deformation" already were euphemisms! Is
there any good reason to get into infinite regress here?
