Example
"I want
you to stay away from that boy. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing."
"I do
not trust the salespeople at that store. They are all wolves
in sheep's clothing."
In past times
wolves had a reputation as wild and dangerous animals that
hunted and killed sheep. "A wolf in sheep's clothing" is
a very dangerous wolf because we do not prepare ourselves for
the attack.
Example: "She
may look cute, but that girl is a wolf in sheep's clothing."
