Nose out of joint

When someone gets their "nose out of joint" or their "nose is all out of joint" it means they are upset, pissed off or holding a grudge. It means the same as being "besides oneself".

1. When Jim told that sexist joke, Annie got her nose out of joint.
2. Jim told his mom to kiss his butt and now her nose is out of joint.
3. Tony got his nose all out of joint after someone said he smelled like B.O.
