Tighter than a hose...
I've heard this expression:
"Don't stick the neck in anything tighter than a hose [.....]"
The last word is not 'clamp', it sounds more like "cala" or "kola". What could it be this word? What does the expression mean?
"Don't stick the neck in anything tighter than a hose [.....]"

If 'collar' is the word, I think the sentence must be 'horse collar', not 'hose collar', do you agree?
