Welcome to English Forums, Ali-- To stick out one's neck is to endanger oneself in some way, socially or physically. Probably from the risk a turtle encounters in extending its head and neck from its carapace, or the fatal result of a chicken's extended neck on the chopping block-- or a royalist's at the guillotine.
