I don't think so Ian. I think it comes from when chickens were laid on a chopping board with their necks stretched so their heads could be cut off with an axe. Or how when a turtle sticks its head out, it becomes more vulnerable :). - --Jen--, May 23, 2010

Answer 6

First thought was this beautiful lyrics for the song "No sé por qué te quiero"- Ana Belen & Antonio Banderas:

Si no me hicieran falta tus besos

me tratarías mejor que a un perro

piensa que es libre porque anda suelto

mientras arrastras la soga al cuello...

---

If you didn't make me miss your kisses

you would treat me better than a dog

thinks to be free because walks loose

while dragging the rope around the neck...

Answer 7

Answer 8

Me duele el cuello.
My neck hurts.

This should be "Me duele el cuello." You don't specify whose neck it is because someone else's neck can't be what's hurting on your body. The same is true for "¿Te duele el cuello?" :) - slkey, May 23, 2010
