speaking of superstitions, everyone knows about the wishbone and making a wish. How many grew up calling it a "pully bone"? I had a friend down south who called it that.[/quote]
Yep, grew up in Central Texas and we called it the "pully bone" too. Sometimes I still catch myself saying that. My mother taught me to cut up a chicken to where the "pully bone" was a separate piece and the bone is whole.
