Pogonotrophy

I love this word mostly because of how it is pronounced here, but I quite like what it means as well. It's the art of cultivating a beard, as in facial hair and sideburns (which I'm no stranger to). I often find myself growing a beard only to shave it only to grow it again just to shave it. It's a vicious cycle. I'm not sure if it's general laziness - the fact that I don't love shaving - or if I enjoy the art of pogonotrophy. We'll go with the latter. It sounds much better.
