Daryl,
Pupick is Yiddish for belly button. I know which part of the 'innards' it
is but not sure that I can describe it without being crude!
It kind of looks like a filled in figure eight. Or maybe testes (the crude
part) that have solidified and have had the skin between them pressed closed
to make two separate sacks. Sorry but I don't know how else to describe it!
