Idiom of the fortnight: Green-eyed Monster
gem (9k image)
It means a jealous person. It comes from Shakespeare's Othello. Origins.
I don't care what the PoMo idol topplers think. Shakes was a righteously clever bastard.

While one green-eyed monster might get violent, maybe, say, throw a bottle at someone, another more poetic monster would present his or her ex-lover with a bar of the finest bittersweet chocolate. Othello even done kill his chick.

Still, some green-eyed monsters are more furry than fangy and just go home. That's the hardest path to take for a monster. Still, such monsters can ride with my posse any day.
