mare's nest
A mare's nest is a term used to refer to a situation or discovery that at first seems exciting and intriguing, but ultimately ends up being a source of confusion, complexity or false leads. This idiom also refers to a deliberately created or intentionally complicated situation designed to confuse or defraud people. It originated from the wrong belief in the past that a mare, a female horse, could build a nest and lay eggs. Thus it’s often associated with illusions, deceptions, or an attempt to find an impossible or absurd situation.
