The guard was sitting in the water, slumped against a slimy rock, his head tipped backwards, his eyes staring and white-rimmed, his mouth open in a silent scream of terror. Below his chin was what looked like a second mouth cut into his throat. The girl had sliced clean across it with her knife.
If you want to make sure they're dead, you should go for the throat.

"I hear a throat begging to be cut!"
— Princess Lily, Legend (1985)
"Look...when you slit a person's throat, you need to cut it from ear to ear, in order to sever the windpipe and the jugular so that they bleed and suffocate at the same time. Otherwise they'll just be in a great deal of pain. That's how I learnt the term 'ear-to-ear', literally what that meant. People think it's just an expression. It's not—it's an instruction."
When I finally got to Ox house, yo there was cops everywhere, I seen that nigga laid out, the fucking top dog with his throat slit from ear to ear...damn
Kano: Oooh, now look at this. This little baby brings back memories now, doesn't it?
Sonya: What, did you use it to knife your mother in the back?
Kano: No. It put a big smile on your partner though. Ear... [traces the knife across his jaw] ...to ear.
