Bishop \Bish"op\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Bishoped}; p. pr. & vb.
   n. {Bishoping}.] [From the name of the scoundrel who first
   practiced it. Youatt.] (Far.)

   Note: The plan adopted is to cut off all the nippers with a
         saw to the proper length, and then with a cutting
         instrument the operator scoops out an oval cavity in
         the corner nippers, which is afterwards burnt with a
         hot iron until it is black. --J. H. Walsh.
