it isn �t very funny...rather painful....strange choice of word...
to obstrigillate is to facilitate the passage of a fetus through the birthcanal by making a calculated incision with a sharp knife during childbirth. (obstetrics+gillete) |

obstrigillate
obst = obstacle
tri = prefix for three
rig = horse drawn carriage
ill = sick
late = not on time
"Obstrigillate!" is how you call a horse drawn carriage that failed to overcome three obstacles because the driver was sick. |
