diaphragm

a dome-shaped muscular partition separating the thorax from the abdomen in mammals. It plays a major role in breathing, as its contraction increases the volume of the thorax and so inflates the lungs.

Chickens don’t have a diaphragm, and their lungs can’t contract. They breathe by moving their entire ribcage to draw air into the lungs. That’s why you can accidentally stop a chick from breathing if you hold it with a firm grip. Chickens also have air sacs and a double respiration cycle.

slugpocket

A play on words no one has never heard of or made up before.
Explanation: Think of a slug crawling inside your pants pocket as a plug being inserted into a socket. (And here you have a rhyme!)

Me: “There’s a slugpocket somewhere in my pants.”
Janis: “Why?”
Me: “I can tell because it smells funny.”
