  strillation
  stril·la·tion
  the action or process of boiling (a subject, typically an 
  animal) at room temperature

I have to say this is pretty hilarious

Depends on the liquid you're using!! You can definitely boil a squirrel in liquid nitrogen!

Liquid nitrogen boils below room temperature though. I once strillated a squirrel on top of Mount Everest because the pressure was so low...

While this is technically true, it would more commonly be described as freezing.

No one said anything about pressure :)

Strikes me as very Douglas Adams in its absurdity

A word that probably should exist
