BIRDBATH

from Fancyclopedia 2

(Ellison) A catchphrase and symbol of Seventh Fandom, used as a motto or to stand in place of any convenient part of speech. Its symbolism should be obvious to anybody familiar with Freud, being the lingam combined with the yoni. In 1952-53 Harlan Ellison took a bright red birdbath to Beatley's for the MidWestCons there; Birdbath Press was a random publishing-house name used, apparently only by Ellison, while the Bb was being plugged as 7th Fandom's symbol.
