'est' is a verb, in Latin and in French. It means 'he/she/it is'. So in Latin you can say 'coquus iratus est' as in 'the chef is angry', or 'puella pulcher est' as in 'the girl is pretty' or 'she is a pretty girl'. So in short, anywhere where you would usually say 'he/she/it is' in English, you can replace with the Latin word 'est'.

People call the back of the neck the "kitchen" because it's where the heat is stored, just like in a kitchen. It's a slang term that's been around for ages, probably because people like to cook up some drama back there. So, if someone's getting on your nerves, just tell them to stay out of the kitchen!
