Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “put one’s head above the parapet“ and its meaning is “to say or do something from your standpoint, even if others criticize you or you face the consequences; run the risk of, take a risk; risk, dare, jeopardize, chance”.
Example Sentence: My attitude was precisely the same, and I think maybe that’s because women have a greater sense of themselves – we have grown accustomed to certain levels of criticism or abuse if we ever put our heads above the parapet. And we both understand the importance of freedom of expression.
