["on the neck of the foot"]. A position. A foot is sur le cou-de-pied if it
is placed on the the calf just above the ankle. In the Russian school, the foot
is actually wrapped around the ankle, with the heel forward and the toes back.
It may be placed on the front of the calf in this position, at the side, or in
back. The back position is sometimes called, incorrectly, coupé.
