O/T > There is Russian proverb that aptly describes such behavior: "назло маме отморожу уши" (cut off your nose to spite your face). Curious to finally learn its origin, I had a Google - particularly as the phrase popped into mind this morning on my walk to work. It Doesn't appear to be of Russian origin, per se. Certainly, It was something I heard a fair few times coming out of the mouths of Scottish family when I was younger. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_off_the_nose_to_spite_the_face https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cutting_off_the_nose_to_spite_...
