The “occiput” (AHK-sih-put) – from the Latin for “against the head” – is the back part of the skull.

Example (as used by Alan Falk in Michigan Lawyers Weekly): “So let me suggest that everyone put away their pitchforks and firebrands and stop trying to ‘bury the hatchet’ by planting it in the other fellow’s occiput.”
