An Irish saying for being taken by surprise/caught out/an unforeseen event/unpleasant circumstance etc. Many things could lurk in long grass, such as 'shnækes' and other slithery [adversaries], to whom one might owe money for instance. The grass is long, you can't really see what's about you and hence it makes for a prime ambush spot. Visualise strolling through a meadow and all of a sudden being leapt upon by a prowler in the [undergrowth]. Rarely used in reference to an actual meadow...moreso as a highly amusing [colloquialism] when rendered in the local accent.
