Widower's peak 

When an older guy's hairline starts to recede, giving the illusion of a widow's peak.
Larry: Is that Brad? I didn't know he had a widow's peak.
John: Nah, that's not his natural hair line, his temples are just balding. That's a widower's peak.

Facebook widower 

A man who is neglected because his wife or partner spends so much time, addictively, on Facebook (c.f. Football Widow)

black widower 

A dude who's had a long list of marriages, only to have each of his consecutive wives die and/or disappear under questionable circumstances.
Aside from execution, the only sure way to stop a black widower from continuing his ghastly lifestyle is to have him marry a black widow. Further explanation unnecessary.
