In English there are a number of phrases about the nose. For example, “to hold up one's nose” expresses a basic human feeling pride. People can hold up their noses at people, things, and places.
The phrase,“to be led around by the nose”, shows man's weakness. A person who is led around by the nose lets other people control him. On the other hand, a person who follows his nose lets his instinct guide him.
For the human emotion of rejection, the phrase “to have one's nose put out of joint” is very descriptive. The expression applies to persons who have been turned aside because of a competitor. Their pride is hurt and they feel rejected. This expression is not new. It was used by Erasmus in 1542.
