A darkly humorous slang term referring to the surgical or forced severing of a penis, derived from the 1993 Lorena Bobbitt case in which Lorena Bobbitt cut off her husband John Wayne Bobbitt's penis — an incident that became one of the most talked-about tabloid stories of the decade. The phrase entered popular culture as shorthand for the act or threat of such a drastic response, often deployed as a grim punchline in discussions of infidelity or extreme revenge.

Origin: Named after Lorena Bobbitt, whose 1993 act of cutting off her husband's penis became a major media and cultural event in the United States. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora (model-assisted, hedged).
