dangerous curve
Road warning sign
A dangerous curve is a sharp bend in a road where accidents are likely—the kind marked with warning signs.
The phrase doubles as slang for an attractive woman with a curvy figure, playing on the road sign imagery: She's a dangerous curve.
Both senses share the idea of something that demands attention and could lead you astray.
