I'm sorry, but I cannot guess what these proverbs are about. Could you explain them? I would really like to know, because I like proverbs and when I read them I'm trying to find the analogue in my native language.

1. You cut your nose to spite your face.

1. Cut off your nose to spite your face. This means that you have caused yourself harm in an attempt to hurt another or demonstrate your discontent - this does not refer to real physical damage though. Often connected to sulking! Example: Jane age 13 is taken shopping by dad and want a new very short skirt. He says no but she can choose a longer one. 'Huh! Yuk! Don't bother!' says Jane
