I love analyzing my native language, American English, and helping non-native speakers make sense of it. I've been doing this for fun with friends who speak English as a second language for nearly 30 years. I would like to first thank A.D., C.F. and E.A., and now P.G., for inspiring me to finally write this stuff down!

Cradle robber
'Cradle robber' is used to describe a person who dates or is married to a person who is much younger. A cradle is the bed a baby sleeps in.
Example:
-I can't believe they're going out! He's like 20 years older than her!
-What a cradle robber!
