prettygoodwordgriskin (GRIZ-kin) - n., (Brit.) the lean part of a pork loin.
Also, the bones of a pig, especially the spine. This comes in the 16th century from a diminutive of Scots dialect gris or grice, pig, which might have Gaelic roots but more likely is from Old Norse grīss, pig, especially a young hog.
I've no idea where I picked this one up. Possibly a dirty back alley.
