diced

'cut into small cubes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'dedicated with no date?' is the wordplay.
'with no' is a deletion indicator.
'dedicated' with 'date' removed is 'DICED'.

'butchered and' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?
