Word to the Wise: Occiput
The "occiput" (AHK-sih-put) - from the Latin for "against the head" - is the back part of the skull.
Example (as used by Alan Falk in Michigan Lawyers Weekly): "So let me suggest that everyone put away their pitchforks and firebrands and stop trying to 'bury the hatchet' by planting it in the other fellow's occiput."
