Many parts of the body can be used as verbs either in a physical or a metaphorical sense.
You can "head" a company, but if things go wrong, you'll have to "shoulder" the blame, or "face" the consequences.
A good leader will "back" his employees, but if you don't "toe" their line the management can "skin" you.
Did you "muscle" your way into that job?
You might "eye" someone suspiciously, or wait for the police to "finger" a suspect.
But if you need to get out of town, you can "thumb" a ride or you can ride with me if you can "stomach" the thought.
Use a strong "arm" tactic if you want to "elbow" out someone.
I don't always sing along with the radio, but I sometimes do "mouth" the words.
