Your shoulders are between your neck and the tops of your arms.

When you talk about someone's problems or responsibilities, you can say that they carry them on their shoulders.

A shoulder is a cut of meat from the upper part of the front leg of an animal.

If someone offers you a shoulder to cry on or is a shoulder to cry on, they listen sympathetically as you talk about your troubles.

If you say that someone or something stands head and shoulders above other people or things, you mean that they are a lot better than them.

If two or more people stand shoulder to shoulder, they are next to each other, with their shoulders touching.

If people work or stand shoulder to shoulder, they work together in order to achieve something, or support each other.

If you shoulder the responsibility or the blame for something, you accept it.

If you shoulder someone aside or if you shoulder your way somewhere, you push past people roughly using your shoulder.
