Hi Tim, you’ve said “cut = cortar”, and what about the verb “to tear”, is that “rasgar”… “to tear or torn something??”. thank you once again. Rafael Bezerra

I got cut off by a biker yesterday. I got ticked off because of that, but I don’t cut off my nose to spite my face and I went to my girlfriend’s house.

I hope that sentence is correct.

Thanks Tim! Take care and, please, keep’em coming these idioms!
