“Crick in the neck” never felt regional to me either, context does all the work there. I’m with you on the pain “complaining” too, it reads like the kind of petty, nagging ache that won’t let you ignore it. Feels similar to how certain phrases travel way beyond where they started, a bit like checking kolkata ff even if you’re nowhere near Kolkata. Good reminder that clarity beats playing it safe with bland wording.
