Off the nose

Basically a term used by skateboarders that replaced off the hook, off the chain and that group of sayings. It refers to something being off the hook, but I guess off the nose cause its funny and cause that means nollie, and nollie is dope on a skateboard...
He broke his tail, put it back together, and backside 5-0'd the 14 stair hubba... it was off the nose! (although in this case literally)

cutting off the nose to spite the face

"Cutting off the nose to spite the face" is an expression to describe a needlessly self-destructive over-reaction to a problem: "Don't cut off your nose to spite your face" is a warning against acting out of pique, or against pursuing revenge in a way that would damage oneself more than the object of one's anger.
