Help transcribing a latin phraise by Bishop Sheen

[Jim]

At the beginning of his famous talk on Kenosis, Bishop Sheen tells the humerous story about how he gets lost in Philadelphia and has to ask some boys how to get to city hall. they ask him what he’s going to talk about, and he states that he didn’t want to tell them the proper technical name of his subject which was something to the effect of: “The Excipito Frontalis of the Convolistic Convolutions of the Metaphorical Ubicliarum Pelbearum”

am I transcribing that correctly? and what does it literally mean?

thanks!

p.s. here’s him telling the joke if you want to hear it for yourself: youtube.com/watch?v=szBBEWU-9q8

Sounds like dog-latin to me. I know *occipitofrontalis *is the name of the muscle on top of your head – I’m not saying you are a muscle-head, only that if you can waggle your eyebrows like Groucho Marx, it is due to this muscle.

FTR, my Latin ear hears: “The occipitofrontalis of the convolistic convolutions of the meatphorical obigliarum galbearum”, which (as dog-latin) sounds impressive but means nothing.

It’s a good joke anyway
