A warning/compliment issued to somebody that looks so good they risk injuring others just by being seen. It's unclear by what method this injury would occur, but presumably cardiac arrest or colloquial heartbreak. Also, may refer to the pain one feels in his/her gut upon seeing someone extremely attractive. May be described as a punch in the gut. Someone who is hurtin' em may elicit wistful sights of strangers as he/she walks by.

a compliment paid to a sexy female as she walks pass you. this phrase is not spewed at each and every sexy female, but only the ones who are sexy, dressed to death from head to toe, and throwin dat booty xtra hard cuz she know you lookin. 9 times outta ten she smilin from ear to ear after you say it, but you'll never know cuz her back is towards you. she smilin though, trust me. she don't just look good,she hurtin em.

or
you see her, she look good but you on the go and don't really have time tospit at her. next best thing: don't hurt em baby
as she passed by him he did'nt try to spit at her because she was waaay outta his league and he knew he'd get shot down. but she looked sooo good that he just had to say something. so he said "don't hurt em baby".

Get the don't hurt em mug.
Something said to a person when that person is obviously exceeding expectations. Kind of like, "Go easy, you're doing too good of a job. The others don't stand a chance."

Often applies to being well dressed, just looking sharp or just being too good at a sport.

A reference to MC Hammer's third album.
When you have on a sharp new outfit that's going to help you win over the ladies, a friend might say to you before you go out, "Hammer don't hurt 'em."
