With Halloween coming up, lady-killer probably makes you think of horror movies. It definitely sounds scary, and it’s pretty weird that Usher called his one-year-old son, Usher V, a lady-killer. What kind of baby would kill ladies?

Luckily for Usher V’s mom and women everywhere, lady-killers don’t actually kill ladies. They just charm them with their incredible good looks and amazing powers of seduction.
An extremely cute baby might be called a lady-killer. And little Usher V is definitely a cutie.

Like players, lady-killers often don’t treat women very well. They might cheat on them, lie to them, or break their hearts. But even the most ruthless lady-killers aren’t actually murderers.

The female version of a lady-killer is a man-eater. You might remember the definition of man-eater from our lesson on the movie Jennifer’s Body. A man-eater is a very attractive woman who takes advantage of men. So what happens when a man-eater and a lady-killer get together? We don’t know, but Man-eater vs. Lady-killer sounds like a cool title for a horror flick…

Are you a lady-killer or a man-eater? Do you know anyone else like that?
