head off. Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. If someone bites another

person's head off, he or she speaks in a very angry or unpleasant way because

they are annoyed by something. All right let's continue. This phrase is especially

used if we believe the anger was unprovoked or some or an overreaction to

something. Yeah. So if you didn't think somebody should have really got angry at

all about this. Or we think somebody really reacted really, really went way overboard

in their reaction. Then this is the case or the situation where we may say

somebody bit someone's head off. All right. Let's continue with the note. Some

people think this phrase may have come from the fact that a praying mantis,, you

know, the insect. That insect is also known for you know eating a lot of other

insects. A praying mantis does bite the head off her of her male mate about

thirty percent of the time. So you might have heard of that you know when they

when they mate you know, they have sex they have offspring. Sometimes the female

will literally bite the head off of the male. So maybe some people believe that's

where this phrase may have originally come from. All right. Let's look at the

first example here . I was just asking if you think we could afford to buy a new

car. You don't have to bite my head off. Meaning because obviously, he probably said to

the ex think we can buy a new car ? And what, are you crazy ? Okay. Are you out of your

mind ? Something like that. They probably made a very big deal about it. Screamed

very loudly. So that's what he's saying you don't have to bite my head off.

I'm just asking a question. Or number two. The boss is in a bad mood

today. This is not the time to ask for a raise ? If you do it today

he may bite your head off. Okay well that's the way we mean it. Anyway I hope you got

it. I hope it was clear Thank you for your time. Bye-bye.
