[ "Portcullis" ]
1: Portcullis is the term given to strong, grated doors found in fortresses and castles around the world. These doors are usually made up of iron or other hard-to-break material such as stone.
By the way, where did you hear this term? No, seriously, not even I remember where I first heard it.
* e.g., ... The portcullis ahead blocks our path, there's no way around it unless we manage convincing those guys to get it out of the way for us.

2: Well if there's one thing I think is worth noting is that your vocabulary is definitely expansive (If you found this on your own, that is.)
