Idiom from something that seems innocuous but is actually deadly / /
I’m looking for an idiom that describes a completely veiled threat, like when someone says something that seems perfectly polite, but a person who is familiar with the situation would know that what they are saying actually has a double meaning.
What do you like I have built, iron fist in velvet glove “? Cambridge Dictionary says
used to describe someone who seems to be gentle but is in fact forceful and determined
I feel like I’ve heard an idiom that is something like “a velvet shrouded sword”, and that it is a literary reference, but I can’t find anything about it online, so perhaps I imagined it.
