Leucippotomy is the art of carving white horses in chalk upland areas, particularly as practiced in southern England.

  1. It sounds like an illness... "Poor Brian, look at him. His leucippotomy must be really bad today." Or: "Did you know Mrs. Fisher from No. 48 has had a leucippotomy?" - "Ah, well, that explains her odd posture when I saw her getting off the bus the other day."
