Killed by your own cock
fig. To suffer disadvantage or defeat from your own actions. See hoisted by own petard.
Origin Early 21st century. Colloquial use began after a man in California died from wounds meted out upon him by his own fighting rooster. The man died at the hospital after having an artery in his calf slashed by the chicken.
