boyfriend bomb

Intermediate 📱 Gen-Z / Internet Slang

Definition

The strategic mention of a boyfriend that instantly vaporizes a guy's interest in talking to you—the conversational equivalent of a smoke bomb escape. Watching a dude's enthusiasm evaporate the moment those words leave her mouth is a sight to behold.

Example Usage

I was chatting up this girl at the bar until she dropped the boyfriend bomb, and suddenly I remembered I had very important things to do elsewhere.
