All this talk of excarnation calls to mind the horrific practices of corte de corbata, corte de mica, and corte de franela which are detailed in the first of Louis de Bernieres' trilogy of tragicomic novels. I've been meaning to ask if anyone can shed some light on another method of torture referenced therein: "bocachiquiar". Google comes up empty, and I can only get as far in translation as to think that perhaps it has something to do with the mouth.
Can anyone help?
