Similar to a snake in the
grass, a snake in the ground is a far snakier snake. They are much harder to
spot than their
grass-dwelling counterparts and will strike when you least expect it.
"Hey man, keep an eye on that tall grass, could be a snake hidin' there."
"Hell, I ain't worried about some boring grass snake. There could be a snake in the ground right under our goddamn feet!"
"Damn man, you know that
Becky my girl'
s been hanging with?"
"Yeah,
Becky, she that older lady right?"
"Shit, it turns out she done Mrs. Doubtfired my
ass. Revealed herself to be a man and made off with my girl."
"What a real snake in the ground."
