- ass in a lion's skin
ass in a lion's skin
ass in a lion's skin
A blustering fool. The "ass" here is a donkey, trying to portray itself as a strong and powerful lion. Can you believe the boss yelled at me because he thought—wrongly—that I'd handed in my budget late? Geez, he's such an ass in a lion's skin!
