garden paths
Backyard stepping routes
Garden paths are walkways through planted areas, but the phrase appears most often in the expression lead someone down the garden path—to deceive or mislead them gradually, guiding them toward a wrong conclusion or bad decision.
In linguistics, a garden-path sentence is one that initially seems to parse one way but requires reinterpretation: The horse raced past the barn fell.
