2 выпускать пар
выпускать пар < из котла>разг.let off (blow off) < some> steam; let off the pressureДа разве же это государственные умы? Вся Россия видит, что надо выпустить пар, дать людям хоть немного свободы, научиться уважать и другое мнение: нет, упёрлись, стоят тупо, ни пяди не отдают, и только давят, вешают, заселяют Сибирь. (Ю. Трифонов, Нетерпение) — Are these the minds of statesmen? All Russia can see that the pressure has to be let off, people must be allowed to enjoy at least a little freedom, to learn respect for the opinion of others. But no, they have dug their heels in and stand with stolid indifference, not yielding an inch; all they can do is suppress and hang and send people to Siberia.
- Не умничай! Понял? - Гурвиц сорвался. Он выхватил карту из рук врача и пошёл к самолёту... "Редкое явление! - подумал Байден. - Гурвиц выпустил пар!" (В. Черняк, Час пробил) — 'Now don't go getting smart! You hear?' Horowitz blew up. He tore the map out of the doctor's hands and headed toward the plane... 'Now that's a rare occurrence!' thought Byden. 'Horowitz blew off some steam.'

3 рубить сук, на котором сидишь
chop off the limb of the tree one sits on; saw off the bough on which one is sitting; cut down the branch on which one is sittingСтыдно сейчас насмехаться, ухмыляться, плакать, ломать руки, ахать над Россией, над которой пролетает революционный циклон. Значит, рубили тот сук, на котором сидели? (А. Блок, Интеллигенция и революция) — It is shameful at this moment to be arrogant, sarcastic, to weep, to wring your hands, to sigh over Russia, over which the hurricane of revolution is now sweeping. Does this mean we had been cutting down the branch on which we were sitting?
