Snake in the grass

Describtion of some one who waits off to the side watching events unfold and will swoop in and grab any spoils when no one is aware



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.
Example:
If you want to describe a cold blooded human with hidden intentions, "snake in the grass" isn't a bad choice.


Snake in the Grass
Your girlfriend's "Guy Friend" who never chooses to talk about you with her, comment on pictures of you and her, and never ever makes an effort to meet you. The worst part is, your innocent girlfriend will always deny and defend him because he's seemingly so "nice and friendly" when you call his actions out.

He's the Punk Bitch who secretly loves your girlfriend and will strike at any weak moment in your relationship.
Example:
"Man, that guy is a real SNAKE IN THE GRASS... better look out for him"


snake in the grass
A shady, conniving person who could strike at anytime without warning. Similar to a gorilla in the mist.
Example:
Mary: "I've had enough of your insensitivity! I'm leaving!"
Larry: "Hey, quit blocking the TV!"
Mary: "I'M LEAVING YOU, YOU ASSHOLE!!!"
Larry: "So what? Oh damn, did you see that catch T.O. just made? Un-be-fucking-lievable!"
Mary: "I think I'm going to start seeing Fred, from the office. He's a real gentleman and can fulfill my needs, unlike YOU!"
Larry: "Whatever, bitch. That guy's a real snake in the grass, don't waste your time. It's halftime...get over here and hop on my johnson."


Snake in the Grass
A person (normally male but can be female) who waits for a relationship to be over/in trouble before pouncing on one of the pair.

James- "yeah, i know man, he's a complete snake in the grass".
