If you plead guilty to the charges it lists the various ways that they plan to execute Guybrush. Scaphism is the last one listed, and Guybrush asks what it is, wherein the Judge says that "You don't want to know." or words to that effect.
No, but I did google "Ichor" after episode 3. I was impressed, it was a more interesting choice word than I thought.
Though I knew the word ichor, I'm ashamed to admit that I've always pronounced it ick-or. I shudder to think of how I shamed myself every time I brought up ichor in conversation.
i had to have ick-or versus ichor discussions with about half of the voice talent. i didn't realize the camp was so decidedly split on the soft or hard i.
for the record, according to merriam and his associate webster, it is EYE-COR. Ichor. Originally Greek, referring to the blood of the gods I believe.
I voted yes, because I did google it, but if you hadn't asked I probably wouldn't have googled it.
I know now what it means.

scaphism -
A form of execution, among the ancient Persians, in which the victim is fastened into a hollow boat, covered in honey and exposed to insects until the victim's death.
Unfortunately, I did Google it. And now I hope it's never brought up again.
(Now watch one of the mods throw in a last minute scaphism line in Ch. 5. -.-)
I just pulled out my Liddell-Scott, and it looks like the ancient Greeks pronounced it i-CHOR, with a short i, a long o, and accent on the second syllable. And make sure you make an appropriately gross, phlegmy hocking noise for the ch.

I think it's the idea that counts, not the actual method. As long as you set out to cause a horrible death through insects eating the person, you're good.
I didn't google it, because I happened to know what it is already, there was time when I did read a lot about legal practises and punishments of the past. Many of the methods are quite brutal (warning example to the audience) and museums which have instruments of torture and executions are somewhat macabre places, but certainly worth visiting.

Eugh... I'm just glad wiki didn't go into detail. Honestly, I'm not gonna say I wish I didn't know what it was, because I'm not that disturbed. From the name 'scooped out' I expected worse. Much worse. >_o

I knew what it was, but it reminded me of it... Does it make me sick that I Google Images it?

My new knowledge about Ichor cheers me up though!

Delicious trivia: some guy allegedly endured 17 whole days of it.
Does it HAVE to be honey? What if you got creative and used chocolate syrup - does that still count, or is there a different word for it?
It probably still counts, I just don't think the Persians went to America much to get cacoabeans.
hehehe
I think I need to use this in my signature
