Furca et fossa was a phrase used in ancient grants of criminal jurisdiction for punishing felons. It means "gallows and pit." Men were hanged on the gallows, while women were drowned in the pit.

An example of furca et fossa being used in practice is in the medieval English legal system. If a woman was found guilty of murder, she would be drowned in a pit. If a man was found guilty of murder, he would be hanged on the gallows.

@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: they blaimed it on their IT team for not updating it as out of stock when I paid but like buying something in stock in September then being told I won't get it until mid January is pretty wild. I do not hunt anymore but their mistake would of caused me to miss the entire season. If it wasn't so hard to get left handed ARs I would of gone elsewhere
oh that's kind of worth more than $140
that's at least $300
