Neck and Crack #1 (permalink) Thu May 31, 2007 15:40 pm   Neck and Crack
 

Hello,

When you are really tired and you bend your head right and left you produce a cracking sound. What is the verb for this action?

Can I say, for example, "I crack my neck, and I feel good."?

Many thanks in advance,
Nina

yeah, that's one way to put it.

you could also say something like, "I'm getting the kinks out."

Thanks Tom, that sounds very cool,I think I've heard that before. I bet it can also be used for other things.

But is there any particular verb like a scientific term for cracking your neck?
