Dismemberment is a process by which you cut off dis member. And if you're feelin' froggy, then you might cut off dat member. If you really want to make a statement, you might even go for da udder member. Okay, enough with that silliness.
Dismemberment is when ya just go to town choppin' a mo'fo up! Put simply: it represents the method of removing various body parts through means of force. This is reflective of an act of violence as opposed to a surgical procedure, in which case, the process is called amputation. Specifically, it relates to the removal of multiple extremities of a living organism. Dismemberment may included severed arms, legs, head, hands feet, fingers, toes... and yes, even the pecker.
