clever rabbit
Wily hopping trickster
A clever rabbit is someone who outsmarts others through wit and resourcefulness, often escaping difficult situations or outwitting more powerful opponents.
The phrase evokes trickster figures from folklore—Br'er Rabbit, the rabbit in Chinese zodiac tales—creatures who survive by cunning rather than strength.
