excise verb 1. To excise is defined as to cut out surgically. When a tumor is surgically cut out, this is an example of excise. Exercise wouldn't work. That would mean "repeatedly employ the fear". Exorcise (as in The Exorcist) might serve, except the IPv4 "fear of waste" is not a demon. It's a good thing. -mel beckman On Jul 8, 2015, at 6:59 PM, Paul Ferguson <fergdawgster@mykolab.com<mailto:fergdawgster@mykolab.com>> wrote: -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 On 7/8/2015 6:51 PM, Mel Beckman wrote: This is where we have to excise our IPv4 "fear of waste" reflex.
