I was going to post "uvula" as a word many people don't know (though with musicians and singers, this groups is probably more conversant with the term than most). As is my wont, I went looking for a link to use with my answer, but I must say, the results were astonishing. It seems no one posts photos of "normal" uvulas, only abnormal ones, lacerated and mal-formed ones, and even pierced ones. Eeewwwwwww!
