How to use shoulder in a sentence?

1. Jeremy Renner:

   She got an injury in her shoulder, everyone else is doing dives and rolls and all this stuff and she's doing this (hand movement) and goes 'Oh my god, my shoulder.'.

2. Kelly Olynyk:

   It’s definitely tough when you’ve got nobody coming in to save you, you’re basically rotating one guy in the second half there. It’s nice because you can get in a rhythm and for a young guy you don’t have to look over your shoulder at all. But you’re going to have to figure it out and make plays and all that. It’s definitely good experience for these young guys.

3. Mitch Landrieu:

   That's about lowering costs and giving people opportunity. The effort was very aggressive. It's happened over the past couple of months. It represents hundreds of millions of dollars in cost saving for American families, and it's because everybody put their shoulder to the wheel. And every one of the federal agencies reached out to all of our folks across the country and worked hard to continue to sign up Americans, so it's a great milestone that we've reached.

4. Raoul Jardine of Allentown:

   It was definitely a whiteout. I couldn't see any farther than probably two city blocks, i saw brake lights and pulled off to the side. Somebody hit me when I was parked in the shoulder.

5. De Blasio:

   Europe can't decide to be unified some of the time and ignore important issues at other times, and there needs to be a European Union policy that addresses the vast amount of immigration that is happening. It's not fair to have Italy have to shoulder so much of the burden.
