bite someone’s head off
this rather common verb phrase is used referring to an angry person overreacting to a trifling matter, specifically to something that someone has said or done.
the last instance of “bite someone’s head off” i came across was recently (late 2006), in the third season of an exhilarating warner bros. sitcom created by chuck lorre, “two and a half men”, which i have the pleasure to subt-tle in french for the channel c-n-l plus. in the ninth episode, ent-tled “madame and her special friend”, the uptight alan harper (starred by the outrageously funny john cryer) shouts in frustration at his whimsical brother charlie (both a h-m-nymous clone of and an eponymous role for charlie sheen). the reason for this fit of anger is that charlie does not keep his promise to “give it a rest” on the jokes his makes about norma (starred by chloris leachman, who needs not be introduced), alan’s elderly date (hence the t-tle). charlie, judging that his sibling makes yet again a mountain out of an anthill, retorts:
“you don’t have to bite my head off !”.
wether in or out of this context, the exaggerated therefore comical catch phrase may be thus paraphrased: “i do not deserve such a harsh punishment for such a petty mistake !”. i hope this explanation will be of any help to you.
