necking
Necking is a term most commonly used in materials engineering that refers to the process that happens when a material is subjected to a force or plastic deformation that causes a localized decrease or distortion in its width or cross section. The term "necking" comes from the phenomenon appearing like a 'neck' of a narrowed portion. It typically occurs before a material reaches its breaking point. In a social context, "necking" is an old-fashioned or informal term predominantly used in the U.S. for kissing and caressing in a sexual way. Please note that the context in which the term is used determines its exact meaning.
