Colombian necktie
A Colombian necktie (Spanish: corbata colombiana) is an imaginary brutal method of murder wherein the victim's throat would be slashed horizontally, with a knife or other sharp object, and his or her tongue would be pulled out through the open wound; this is not actually possible because the tongue is entirely in the mouth and is thus entirely above the neck. The myth may gain credibility because when one looks into a human mouth, the tongue seems to disappear into the inside of the throat. Anatomy textbooks, including the famous Gray's Anatomy, make clear, however, that the tongue is a roundish muscle anchored in the bottom of the mouth. See for example the schematics in Gray's, the Duke University Medical School, the Human Anatomy and Physiology blog, and a recent paper in Journal of App
