Can't see the trees for the wood

Used to desribe someone who is so caught up with the big picture that they lose sight of the smaller but more important details. Opposite of can't see the wood for the trees.

"If you pay off an extra €150 a month on your mortgage, you'll pay it off two years earlier and save €4,000 altogether."

"But since my husband lost his job, we're barely making enough to pay the bills as it is; we can't afford an extra €150 every month."

"Ah, but if you just make this sacrifice now, you'll be in a much, much better position in 18 years!"

"But as I said... oh forget it, you can't see the trees for the wood."

the art of playing disc golf while under the influence of ghanja. Usually leads to mass amounts of trees around the course to be hit by an astray disc. You can tell if a player around you is playing this way if:

1. 50% of disc golfers do anyways...good guess
2. If a player waits for you to pass despite the clear distance he has on you between holes.
3. He is looking for his disk *every hole*
4. If the player is really chill despite sucking ass on that particular day.
5. You smell it on him

That guy sucks ass. He's most likely smokin trees while tokin trees" "why else would you come out here?

orange trees 

A saying your boyfriend uses when he wants to say something romantic but can't think of anything. It ends up being adorable anyway, and you end up kissing after. Usually used when outside in Autumn in New England, since the leaves there change color in the fall.

Boyfriend: Those orange trees are so beautiful.

Goldilocks trees 

trees of any kind that have beautiful red-orange leaves, usually in the fall

In the fall, the leaves of the trees I drove by in going to school were red-orange. I called them Goldilocks trees. Now in spring, their leaves are bright green. I guess that's nice, too.
