To smell blood in the water
To smell blood in the water is an expression that means to recognize or detect a weakness or vulnerability in an opponent, adversary, or subject over which one is trying to gain an advantage. The phrase implies that one will act upon the weakness to achieve victory or benefit. The expression is based on the analogy of aquatic predators, such as sharks, that are attracted by the scent of blood in water and attack their prey.
