There is a word - I sued to know it, but now I don't, unfortunately any description or definition does not bring up the desired result in Google so...
Does anyone know the term, medical, scientific or other (preferably other), for the dip at the bottom of the throat where the clavicles meet?

Er, no, but thanks.

In that case try the suprasternal notch it is found at the superior border of the manubrium of the sternum, between the clavicular notches.
You might find this site (http://www.anesi.com/super.htm) of interest

That's the one! Now I just need to find the less medical-sounding term that I know is out there... somewhere.

There are Upper GI surgeons I could ask at my work, but I would get involved in a discussion way out of my depth, so I'll leave it! :o
