Merrythought
\Mer"ry*thought`\, n.
The forked bone of a fowl's breast; -- called also
wishbone. See
Furculum.
[1913 Webster]
Note: It is a sportive custom for two persons to break this
bone by pulling the ends apart to see who will get the
longer piece, the securing of which is regarded as a
lucky omen, signifying that the person holding it will
obtain the gratification of some secret wish.
