Neck And Neck ( two sides are competing evenly ... )

**"Neck And Neck"**

Neck and neck refers to the state that two competitors are in when they compete evenly in a race. We can imagine two people running in a race side by side barely "necking" ahead of each other. Both of them strain to stick their heads forward as the first one to cross the finish line is the winner.

Example: "They're coming around the final corner. They're neck and neck!"
