I've always heard it as "Cut off your own nose to spit in someone's face".
Basically it means you are willing to hurt yourself just to be able to make your enemy miserable.
Ive always heard "cutting off your nose to spite your face"
Because that's what the actual phrase is. Biting off your nose makes no sense, nor does then spitting in someone else's face.
Oh right. I was just surprised how vivid the imagery was lol
