red herring

Something used to divert attention form the real matter, issue or object(a dead red herring was often used to confuse or test the scent of a hunting dog)

That kid was just a red herring to prevent his friends from being caught in the act.

junkyard dog

1. a particularly vicious and dangerous dog, especially one chained up as a result of it's attacks

2. a particularly vicious and dangerous person

(dogs of such a temperament are frequently used to guard junkyards in movies)

If I have to deal with that junkyard dog again I will give it's owner a piece of my mind.

likely to happen, probable (possibly from the cards used by fortune tellers)

Another win for the team is in the cards.

Xs and Os

1. symbols used to represent sports players on a chart

2. hugs and kisses

The Xs and Os looked a bit disorganized to me.
