意味
Meaning to argue or speak passionately and assertively.
文化的背景
In Korea, public displays of anger were traditionally frowned upon due to Confucian influence. However, 'pitdae' is often seen in the context of 'righteous indignation' (Uibun), where showing passion is acceptable. Similar to Korea, Japan uses 'Aosuji' (blue veins) to show anger, but it's often depicted in Manga/Anime as a specific cross-shaped icon on the forehead. On Korean forums like DC Inside or TheQoo, users use this phrase to mock 'keyboard warriors' who take online debates too seriously. In hierarchical Korean companies, a subordinate 'raising their neck veins' to a superior is a sign of extreme frustration or a 'resignation-level' argument.
Use with '주장하다'
This idiom pairs perfectly with '주장하다' (to claim/assert). It shows that the person is not just stating a fact, but fighting for it.
Don't use for yourself in a humble way
Saying 'I raised my neck veins' can make you sound a bit aggressive or out of control. Use it more for describing others or for very strong self-defense.

The 'Seouda' vs 'Seoda' distinction
Use '세우다' (active) when you want to focus on the person's action of arguing. Use '서다' (descriptive) to focus on how they look.

よくある質問

Yes, but it's less common. You might use it for a teacher or a leader who is very dedicated, but it still implies a very high level of intensity.
'화를 내다' is just 'to be angry'. '목에 핏대를 세우다' is a vivid description of *how* they are being angry/assertive.
No, it just refers to the veins (blood vessels) becoming visible under the skin.
Not really. It's mostly used within this idiom or to describe a 'hot-tempered' person slangily.
Only if you are describing your passion for a cause, but be careful as it might sound too aggressive.
You can make it formal by adding honorifics: '목에 핏대를 세우시다'.
