A method of execution in which the victim’s throat is slashed vertically, then his tongue is pulled out through the gaping wound toward the sternum, after which he is allowed to die of asphyxiation or blood loss, whichever is prior

() First attested in 1981: Colombian, from its frequent use as a method of intimidation during La Violencia (circa 1948–1958) + necktie, from the resulting macabre resemblance of the victim’s tongue to that of a necktie’s as it dangles over the chest.
