jut out
Extend beyond surface
To jut out is to extend sharply beyond a surrounding surface or line.
A cliff juts out over the sea.
A chin juts out defiantly.
The phrase emphasizes the projection more than plain *jut*: The balcony jutted out over the narrow street.
Things that jut out are prominent, often abruptly so.
