It means on your neck: this is on you

The word "on the neck" comes from German, meaning "it depends on you". This means you have to pay an invoice, for example, when you go to a restaurant with a friend. If you are yourself, you can say "on your neck" and another person on "my neck".

However, "on your / my neck" has increasingly developed into "I will do it, I will solve it." Therefore, not only can you use abbreviations for financial issues, but you can also use broader abbreviations when taking the lead in doing one thing.

So you use it on your neck

If you want to use expressions yourself, you can easily integrate them into everyday life. Whenever you take over an invoice or task, you can simply write "On my neck" on WhatsApp, everyone knows that you are performing an operation, making a payment or taking over.
