necks
Head-body connectors
Necks is the plural of neck—the part of the body connecting head to torso, or analogous narrow sections: the necks of bottles, guitar necks.
As a verb, to neck is to kiss and caress amorously, somewhat dated slang for making out: We were necking in the back seat.
Crane your necks means stretch to see something.
