As an expert in cultural idioms and expressions, I can explain the meaning of the phrase "The nail that sticks out gets hammered." This is a proverb that originates from Japan and is often used to describe the social pressure to conform. The idea is that if a nail is sticking out more than the others, it will be the one that gets hit by the hammer to be driven in line with the rest. Metaphorically, it suggests that individuals who stand out or go against the norm may face criticism or opposition.
