beware the ides of March See SUPERSTITION.
cat ice Flimsy ground, precarious condition. Cat ice is extremely thin ice formed on shallow water which has since receded. It owes its name to the belief that it could not support even the weight of a cat. The phrase has been in use since 1884.
nourish a snake in one’s bosom To show kindness to one who proves ungrateful. The allusion is to the Aesop fable in which a farmer, finding a snake frozen stiff with cold, placed it in his bosom. The snake, thawed by the warmth, quickly revived and inflicted a fatal bite on its benefactor.
I fear me you but warm the starved snake,
Who, cherished in your breasts, will sting your hearts.
(Shakespeare, II Henry VI, III, i)
snake in the grass A sneak, dastard, skulker; a suspicious, treacherous, or disingenuous person; a traitor or craven; any lurking danger. This expression is derived from a line in Virgil’s Third Eclogue (approx. 40 B.c.), Latet anguis in herba ‘a snake lurks in the grass,’ alluding to the potential danger posed by a poisonous snake that is hidden in the grass as if in ambush.
There is a snake in the grass and the design is mischievous. (Thomas Hearne, Remarks and Collections, 1709)
sword of Damocles The threat of impending danger or doom; also Damocles’ sword.
Little do directors and their companies know of this sword of Damocles that hangs over them. (Law Times, 1892)
The allusion is to the sycophant Damocles, invited by Dionysius of Syracuse to a lavish banquet. But Damocles could not enjoy the sumptuous feast because Dionysius had had suspended over his head a sword hanging by a single hair. He dared not move lest the sword fall and kill him. See also hang by a thread, PRECARIOUSNESS.
