When your significant other who is normally attached to their phone at all times clears their phone out of anything suspect (anything they are hiding such as texts from other girls etc), then lays it in an obvious place inviting you to look through it while pretending to sleep or leaving the room.

Origin:
The red comes from the color of it, and the herring is because it smells like fish.

Red Herring

red herring

Share definition
A term used to describe a guy/girl who you're going out with/fucking just to get over someone else you can't get.

Red herrings were often used to mislead hound dogs; the expression refers to something that is misleading.

Therefore - you try to convince yourself that you like someone (to mislead you/lead you away from the person you actually like), and call him/her your 'red herring'.
A: I'm so in love with him but he's dating someone :(
B: I'm so sorry :( what are you going to do?
A: I think I might go for Tony.
B: Tony? Why! Do you even like him?!
A: Nah, but he'll just be my red herring.
