I think one of the most visually dynamic expressions I heard, growing up in a Kytherian household was - "to cut off a persons air supply". "Na kopsis tin aera tou." This meant/means literally to cut off a persons air supply. To put a person down. To reduce them to impotence. In the modern English idiom we might say to "be jarred." To deprive a person of "psychological oxygen" - is a far more powerful symbol - than any analogous expressions in English. "Na kopsis tin aera tou."

I remember a slightly different variation...."I'll cut your ears off!" When I was a teenager growing up in Oakland, California, my father was very strict about who I went out with or who I talked with on the telephone. When the phone rang at our house, he would pick it up. If it was a boy, he would ask for the last name and if it wasn’t a Greek name he would say, “Don’t call again or I’ll cut your ears off”!
