spider-sense
Gut alarm feeling
Spider-sense is an intuitive feeling that something is wrong or dangerous, a kind of internal alarm.
The term comes from the Spider-Man comics, where the superhero has a preternatural ability to detect threats.
In casual use, it describes any strong gut instinct: My spider-sense is tingling—something's off about this deal.
