Snake in the grass

Someone who pretends to be something other than what they are, while hiding a nefarious agenda.

Note (1.) A snake in the grass doesn't have to be sadistic, but they have to be self-serving enough, they don't care who they hurt in the process of achieving what they want.

Note (2.) The term "snake in the grass" has been around a long time. Long before people had lawnmowers, or constantly trimmed their lawns like a military buzz cut. So the grass metaphor used to be more obvious. When the average person's lawn used to grow past their ankles..snakes were rarely visible.
If you want to describe a cold blooded human with hidden intentions, "snake in the grass" isn't a bad choice.

Complicated

(1.) A word someone uses, whenever there's a hard (but simple) reality in front of them, they don't want to face.

(2.) A synonym for "None of your business".
(1.) He says he doesn't want a relationship right now, because he's got a lot going on. His direct response and terrible excuse make things so complicated. Ugh. Whatever will I do with these obscure words shrouded in mystery?

Person B: "Maybe another time Jerry. It's complicated."

Freedom of the Press

(1.) (Gym etiquette):
Showing consideration to other gym members by not hogging machines or bench presses, others may want to use.

Better to abide by "freedom of the press" and be conscientious of other gym members, than hog a machine you are not using. Or are taking lengthy rest periods on, during the busiest time of day.

Bird of Pray

This is a shout out to all the young eagles, hawks, falcons and vultures, (birds of prey) who are afraid of heights. And find themselves praying for the courage to push their little taloned feet off the tree and into the pretty blue sky.

You can do it!
I want to live up to my bird of prey potential, but right now I'm just a bird of pray.

South Star

The opposite of a North Star. Anything that guides you away from your goals, life purpose, or the best that is in you. It could be addiction or bad habits. It could be the wrong people. It could be hanging on to false or malignant hopes. Whatever it is, it will make your life go south. (Pun intended).
If you follow your south star, your life's natural trajectory is downward.
