Porrect
Porrect is interesting. In terms of an action, to porrect is to stretch out part of the body. Or, it can be to tender or submit a document, presumably from an outstretched hand. Fascinating and very educational. Your meanings of course, were hilarious. Merriam and Sandra Dodd were equally as good, according to voters. Well done, both of you.

The porrect is the inside of a parrots beak that extends out to give a curvature to the bill.
I like Sandra Dodd's answer so much that I will not answer as I hope she wins.
