in cahoots
Definition: In a partnership, with an implication of criminality;
working together on secret plans.
Example: 1) I'm afraid our accountant may be in cahoots with the
local crime boss.
Etymology: This phrase was in use by the early 1820s. It may derive from
the French word for cabin, 'cahute' -- and thus refer to people
planning something in a small cabin or house, beyond observation.
