Phrenology 

Pseudoscientific racism for the detail-oriented.

“The study of phrenology emerged in the 19th century, as did Freudian psychology and the practice of putting cocaine in every bodily orifice.”

Phrenology 

A psycological theory or analytical method based in the idea that certain mental faculties and character traits are indicated by the configurations of a person's skull.

Phrenologist 

A friendly person who claims to be a medical professional, but is actually just a self serving con artist or quack.

So the phrenologist told my wife that because the top of her head is flat that her purpose in life is to give blowjobs and balance beer cans on top of her skull?

pornology 

1) The study of the origin, history and functionality of pornography in society.
2) Trying to give an academic bent to your explanation to your wife as to why all those free 30-second movie clips were all over your computer desktop.
3) Any attempt to justify your $700-a-month porn addiction.

Contary to your narrow, bigoted beliefs, we're not sitting here "talking about porn." We're engaging in a pertinent discussion concerning Jenna Jameson's role in contemporary American pornology, thank you very much!

penology 

Penology[ is a section of criminology that deals with the [philosophy and practice of various societies in their attempts to repress criminal activities, and satisfy public opinion via an appropriate treatment regime for persons convicted of criminal offenses.

Penology is concerned with the effectiveness of those social processes devised and adopted for the prevention of crime, via the repression or inhibition of criminal intent via the fear of punishment. The study of penology therefore deals with the treatment of prisoners and the subsequent rehabilitation of convicted criminals. It also encompasses aspects of probation (rehabilitation of offenders in the community) as well as penitentiary science relating to the secure detention and retraining of offenders committed to secure institutions.

Penology concerns many topics and theories, including those concerning prisons (prison reform, prisoner abuse, prisoners' rights, and recidivism), as well as theories of the purposes of punishment (deterrence, retribution, incapacitation and rehabilitation). Contemporary penology concerns itself mainly with criminal rehabilitation and prison management. The word seldom applies to theories and practices of punishment in less formal environments such as parenting, school and workplace correctional measures.
