Re: to stick one's neck out
When I was interning, I knew that my co-worker wasn't focused on his job at all. He was always late at work. Even his work seemed to be nothing but just one that anyone could do. It's not impressive at all. However, I was afraid to stick my neck out. I didn't tell my boss the truth.

Cheating is more than sticking your necks out.

People should not stick their neck out while undertaking an important meeting or negotiation.

Does this mean you should never stick your neck out by getting in the middle of a couple fighting?

Re: to stick one's neck out
I think that usually when we talk about sticking our enck out the focus is on what might happen to us so instead of saying you don't want to hurt other's feeling it might make more sense if you said .... I decided not to stick my neck out because the mean girl might make up a rumor about me.

This might be OK. When we talk about ahuman sticking his/her neck out it's not usually physical danger but dogs don't have to worry about most other kinds...

Sounds good - what are the risks that make you say you're sticking your neck out?
