Hanged, Drawn, and Quartered

The penalty for high treason in England, to be hanged, drawn and quartered was a common occurrence during medieval times. Although it was abolished in 1814, this form of execution was responsible for hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of deaths.

First, the victim is dragged on a wooden frame, called a hurdle, to the place of the execution.
Second, the victim is hanged by the neck for a short period of time until nearly dead (hanged).
Third, the disembowelment and castration occur, where afterward, the entrails and genitalia are burned in front of the victim (drawn).
Finally, the body is divided into four separate parts and beheaded (quartered).

If you want a good example of someone being hanged, drawn, and quartered watch the end of the movie Braveheart.

9 and 3 quartered

verb. the term refers to the act of walking into a solid wall that was in plain view.
This term is taken from the platform number 9 3/4s which wizards run through in the harry potter series to get on the Hogwarts Express.
The act of "9 and 3 quartering" an object is often the result of being ridiculously and unreasonably stoned.

"Is Marisa gonna be alright? She ran into that wall pretty hard"

"Yeah, she 9 and 3 quartered that bugger."
