stick your neck out Explanation: Isn't this being addressed to someone else, so the meaning would be "be brave - make a decision - what's the right answer?" I'm not reading it as "hold your hand (or any other part of anatomy) out for punishment", but I could be wrong. |

put your hands out Explanation: In the old days, teachers would sometimes ask students to put their hands out (for giving the wrong answer, dozing off, passing notes, etc) so that they could smack them with something (often a ruler). Paddles (to the butt) were reserved for more serious offenses. https://www.quora.com/Is-it-true-that-American-teachers-used-to-hit-kids-with-rulers-in-the-old-days-If-so-for-what-reasons |

Use your head Explanation: Учитывая общую клиническую дегенеративность сей "поэзии и литературы"", надо или связываться с, извините за выражение, автором, или писать хоть что-то вменяемое. Переводить, исходя из "поставь мозги на место", имеет хоть какой-то смысл. |
