The little nubbly bit of cartilage at the front of your ear - just where ear meets head, on the same level as the earhole - is called a tragus (pronounced tray-gus).
The word comes from trago, the Greek for 'goat'. This is because the tragus often has a fine coating of hair on its underside, like a goat's beard.
TENUOUS at best, I feel. Nul points, Greece.
