"You sly fox." implies that the individual is as shrewd, tricky, conniving, and devious as a fox. According to the Urban Dictionary, the individual might place someone in a difficult situation, make someone's intentions backfire, or be extremely secretive. A sly fox will often try to be helpful, but expect something in return. Sly characters appear in many forms of media, from literature to movies. Here are some examples: Lily Tomlin's character, Jane Curtin, on Saturday Night Live is an example of a sly humorist. She often parodies other people's opinions on politics, religion, and culture while making observations of her own about life in general. Curtin frequently places her friends in awkward situations where they must act contrary to their morals or face embarrassment later when she reveals her knowledge of their sins. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice is full of sly characters. Mr. Darcy is proud, cold, and arrogant; he makes it clear from the beginning that he has no interest in getting to know Elizabeth Bennett better. However, he feels compelled to defend his actions when she accuses him of being rude. This is because he believes that she deserves to be treated with respect since she is one of the most beautiful women in England. Miss Bingley is proud and condescending toward Elizabeth, which causes problems between them from the start.
