"Dog Days" / "Dog Days Of Summer"

The period in the summer often thought to be hottest, usually considered to be July 3 to August 11. By extension, a period of lethargy, inactivity, or stagnation.

Sidebar: In ancient times, people associated the heat during this period with the concurrent rising of Sirius, nicknamed "the dog star." The phrase is a translation of the Latin dies caniculares, meaning "dog star days."

"Shrinking Violet"..........

A shrinking violet is a very shy person, someone who is an extreme introvert and does not enjoy attention or engaging with others.

Sidebar: Why the violet, a small but common shade-loving perennial, should be chosen to designate shyness is unclear. On the contrary, violets can boldly take over patches of ground, and gardeners may even find them difficult to eradicate from unwanted spaces. Nevertheless, the phrase has been used since the early 1900s.

"Less is more"

Sometimes a " lot " can drown out the "interesting less"
