Oh right. I managed to confuse myself by mixing metaphors. If a hidden gem is a gem in shit's clothing, then I thought the opposite would be shit in gem's clothing, and somehow thought that was a diagonal.

And now I'm still wondering why, in English, shit in gems's clothing feels more opposite than shit in shit's clothing, while in geometry, the diagonal is clearly more opposite than either side.
