A phrase used to describe a situation in which one person has been captivated by another person's charm and flattery, and when the latter is secretly harboring ill intentions towards the former. In reference to the poem "The Spider and the Fly", in which a spider entraps a fly in its web using the same tactics.
Man 1: Damn, Weslley sure has been spending a lot of time with that new girl.
Man 2: Yeah, she's so sexy but she probably just wants him for his money.
Man 1: Aye, said the spider to the fly.
Man 2: Yeah, she's so sexy but she probably just wants him for his money.
