By extension, metaphorically speaking, when other two things, whatever they are, are compared, the better one is sometimes described in the same manner, as head and shoulders better or, more often, above the other.

That's head and shoulders – shoulders, plural because one has two shoulders.

Got it?

All right, without further ado, let's read a few media examples:

1. Focus DIY's takeaway kitchens are ‘head and shoulders' above the competition.

That is the claim of Craig Hadley, kitchen buyer for the DIY retailer who has canvassed opinion from customers to help with it with the launch of a nine-strong range offering a choice of finishes and designs.

“We've gone out into the market place and identified what our customers want from a kitchen, in terms of design, quality and added features,” Mr Hadley told diyweek.net.

“From this research we have compiled a range, which will stand out against the competition. Our new range of take-away kitchens will put us head and shoulders above the competition with a wide range of fascias and worktops to suit any style or budget.”

He continued: “Each one of the nine new take-away kitchens comes complete with soft close doors as standard – a first by any of the DIY sheds.

“Customers can further upgrade their kitchen with various options such as soft close drawers, glass wall cabinets and tall larder/appliance units.
