What “Kiss mi neck” means
Kiss mi neck is an exclamation of surprise, shock or disbelief, like "Well I never!" or "You're kidding!". It is not meant literally. It is a much milder relative of "kiss mi raas".
Examples
Kiss mi neck! Yuh win?
Wow! You won?
How to use it
Mild: fine among friends and family, and often used as a safer substitute for stronger exclamations. It is still informal, so avoid it in formal settings. Compare "Kiss mi raas!", which is a rude, definitive brush-off.
Where usage varies
Strength is all about the last word: "neck" keeps it mild, while swapping in "raas" makes it a cuss.
