Bite Off More Than You Can Chew - Green Ant

The green ant is convinced he’s ten foot tall and bulletproof. Willing to take on opponents thousands of times his size, usually head-first, usually with no plan. Classic small man syndrome, just with mandibles.

Kids who grew up in the north know the dread. You’re halfway up a mango tree, feeling smug, then you bump a nest and suddenly regret every decision you’ve ever made. Gardeners know it too. One careless reach and you’re reminded who really runs the yard.

These days they end up in bottles of gin. Bush tucker, citrus notes, very trendy. He’s not thrilled about it. Someone suggests it’s good exposure and he replies, “Eat my arse. No way, bruss.”

His mantra is “Bite off more than you can chew.” Which sounds brave until you realise it’s the same shit house advice as “fake it ’til you make it.” Something your manager once said with a straight face, right before everything caught fire.

The green ant lives by it anyway. No strategy. No self-awareness. Just vibes, confidence, and teeth. It never ends well, but he keeps going.
