flew too close to the sun

Being overconfident and reckless. Not knowing your limits. The phrase comes from the tale of Icarus, a young man who flew too close to the sun and fell from the sky when his wings melted. It's a tale of caution, warning us to remember our limitations.

Person #1: That man was killed by the gang leader, thinking he can take him on.
Person #2: I guess he flew too close to the sun.

Keep Close to the Willows

An Ozark verb meaning to be cautious. Conservative. Modest. Taken from a phrase used while skinny dipping in a willow bordered creek.

close to the vest

keep something secret, to hold something close so no one else can see it

Though it was just a friendly game of Go-Fish, Henry kept his cards close to the vest, not letting anyone else see which cards he held.

He played the murder close to the vest so he could work out all the details before the police found out.

close to the kernel

Adjective. The term is used to indicate that someone or something has a nerd or geek-like quality. It is also used by geeks to describe other, more hard-core geeks. It's connotation may be positive or negative depending on tone.

The term comes from the software industry, where kernel programming is among the most technically involved. From an informal standpoint, the more connected people are with kernel software, the higher the chances are of them being geek-like.

John is always talking about role-playing games on his computer - he's close to the kernel.
