LOL - oh my god, Adamantius, that is too funny! I usually get a student to
stand next to me and indicate imaginary lines on their body in front of the
class to show the locations of various cuts - I get a lot of strange looks
and odd laughter. I never considered the pink lipstick application though,
that boggles my mind a little bit...

At the risk of sounding a little gruesome, I find the best teaching
tool for locating meat cuts on domestic meat quadrupeds is to imagine
yourself on your hands and knees, with a line drawn down along your
spine, another from between your collarbones, along your sternum, and
down to your crotch, and two more drawn from your armpit, along your
ribs, down to your hip. Essentially, your body will be divided into
quadrants. If it makes you feel better, imagine doing it with pink
lipstick, children's face paint, or chocolate sauce ;-)
Brisket would be located, if you were a cow or I a cannibal, which
we're not, but work with me here, along the front of your rib cage,
approximately from your armpit to your middle ribs, and from the
center line of your sternum to the middle of your ribs.
Does that help?
