The Honey was Black

A phrase that is used to describe a situation in which although the outcome may look promising, it is only structured that way by the people who actually profit from it. The actual idea behind the phrase is that the "Honey" is actually Blackstrap Molasses, which is known to be extremely bitter, mirroring the disappointment one feels when understanding that they've been tricked.

In present tense, use "The honey is black" instead.

Predatory systems or Loans are a beautiful example of this idea. Initially, it seems as though the benefits are worth harboring, but overtime, you come to understand that it either wasn't worth it, or it didn't really give you what you wanted. Especially applicable if such an instance of this has either already happened or it is too late to go back on your decision.
"Tiffany told me that she would try harder to be a better person, and I believed her even though everybody told me not to. You all knew the honey was black, but I went after it anyway. I have nobody to blame but myself."

summer-honey

Quirky, unlike any other woman that you will ever meet. She doesn't play games and she is more straight forward and honest than most women in your life.

She will give and give and give until there is nothing left and she will walk away smiling because she knows that she made you happy. She is spontaneous, seductively beautiful in the most natural way.

The moment that you let her go, she will wish that you didn't because she will be the only woman in your life that will ever make sense of it all. She is perfectly imperfect. Stubborn, beautiful, intellectually attuned, and passionate about changing the way that we see things.

She is a man's last love because any woman after that will never compare. If you find yourself with this woman, treat her with respect, love her til the end, and God don't let go of her because is the greatest best friend and lover that you will ever find.
Man I can't believe you let go of her. She was a real Summer...did you at least get her number?

That girl had a great personality...a lot like a Summer

honey owl

When a girl talks to you at later hours insinuating that you might have a potential romantic future, but then never treats you like a potential mate or a sexual being
That girl wouldn't send me nudes, she's a real honey owl.

Like a sugar daddy, but a bro that pays for everything when you go out.
“You gonna go out tonight?”
