A chemical weapon females use to disseminate doubt amongst surrounding males. It is a preemptive strike used for 2 main reasons:
- the female wants to discourage surrounding unwanted males from getting too close

-the female wants to play hard to get with an attractive male, as well as test his resolve.

Boyfriend bomb 

A maneuver in which a girl inserts a statement about her boyfriend to let any would-be suitors that she is already taken. In some cases it is used by single women who want to let a guy know that she isn't interested. Despite the violent name of this act, also called the boyfriend drop, and the pain it may cause for the male recipient, the boyfriend bomb is actually an act of kindness in either case. The girl is simply trying to show that she is taken or not interested, before the guy asks her out and makes an ass of himself.

As soon as I could tell he wasn't just being friendly, I hinted to him that I had a boyfriend so that he wouldn't get his hopes up.

That guy at the bar seemed really nice, he just wasn't my type, so I lied and dropped the boyfriend bomb as to not hurt his feelings.

When the girl you've been interested in chooses the most inopportune moment to inform you she has a boyfriend. Often followed by you punching a baby.

Guy: hey man, do you have any extra babies kicking around I can punch?

Guy's wicked awesome female friend: I'll make you a fresh one, under one condition: it has to be a fatal blow. We don't want it surviving said punch. Brb. Got 9 months of work ahead of me.

Guy: If you'd rather not work the full 9 months, I'd be happy to meet you at the top of a flight of stairs.

Guy's wicked awesome female friend: :) you're the best! BTW, what has caused this baby punching tangent?

Guy: Well, I met this super cute girl the other day, and I was just about to tell her I was warm for her form when she dropped the boyfriend bombshell!

Guy's wicked awesome female friend: Harsh, dude! *hands dude a fresh baby*
