Looking for crocodiles

Basically, when contingency planning, looking for unlikely, worst case scenarios that technically could happen, but realistically never will. The analogy is you start looking for things beneath the surface of a river in case a log turns out to be a croc and bites you. Trouble is, you are generally looking at your local river that has only logs… chances of there being a live croc ? Pretty slim.
Those tyres are rated for 120 miles per hour, but our car can only do 110 miles per hour tops so they are perfectly acceptable. But what if there's a tail wind, and a hill, and our brakes fail ? says Jack. Good old Jack, always looking for crocodiles (looking for alligators, hunting alligators, searching for crocs etc etc)

That guy looks so dumb. This is the perfect time to do a look and laugh.

That was the best look and laugh we've had since that guy fell into the fountain at the mall.

looks sense

a phrase used when something dumb happens or someone’s being confusing

(combination of “looks right” and “makes sense”)
“I got dress coded today cuz my perfectly normal sized shorts were ‘too short’, but a couple tables over I see this girl reaching for something with her booty cheeks popping out for the whole world to see, and she got away with it.”

“Looks sense.”

“I know right??”
