Heretic's fork
-
noun:
A medieval torture device which consisted of a two-sided fork which would be strapped to the victims neck so that any movement of the jaw caused extreme pain.
The victim was then forced to say the word abiuro which is latin for I [recant] or else they were hung or burned at the [stake].
This device qualifies as a [funkatron].
