collo di bottiglia

SOP: Italian for "neck of bottle" ("bottleneck"). Imetsia (talk) 22:25, 27 April 2020 (UTC)

The Italian term is a calque of English bottleneck in the figurative sense. In that sense it is not SOP in English. I think that this extends to the loan translation: you may well know that collo means “body part connecting the head and trunk” and that bottiglia means “glass container with a narrow opening”, and yet not see immediately that the combination means “major impediment to progress”.  --Lambiam 13:11, 28 April 2020 (UTC)

If the figurative sense is attested, keep per Lambiam. PUC – 11:03, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
