wishbones
Poultry snapping tradition
Wishbones are the forked bones found in birds, formed by the fusion of the two clavicles.
The name comes from a tradition: two people each grip one side of a dried wishbone and pull until it snaps, and whoever ends up with the larger piece supposedly gets their wish granted.
The term extends to anything Y-shaped: a wishbone offense in football splits receivers wide.
