Sentence: Joan Rivers regularly gets her doctor to faceslought her countenance in order to chase the fountain of youth. Between peels, lifts, tucks, Botox,chemicals, dermabrasions,lasers and liposuction, not much of the original Joan is still around. Being a comedienne, she is toying with a name change, too. Since she has shed more skin than any snake, she likes the sound of Joan Slithers. And why is she going to a plastic surgeon? Wouldn't a real one be better?

Etymology: Facelift (plastic surgery to remove wrinkles and other signs of aging from your face; an incision is made near the hair line and skin is pulled back and excess tissue is excised) & Slough (any outer covering that can be shed or cast off;necrotic tissue; a mortified or gangrenous part or mass;cast off hair, skin, horn, or feathers)
