地雷女

• 読み: じらいおんな
• ローマ字: jirai onna
• 漢字の分解: 地雷 (landmine) + 女 (woman) → landmine woman, someone with hidden dangers
• 発音: /dʑi.ɾa.i oɴ.na/

意味

A landmine woman — someone who seems fine on the surface but has hidden red flags or explosive emotional issues that detonate unexpectedly.

The landmine metaphor is vivid: everything seems safe until you step on one and it explodes. A 地雷女 might have extreme jealousy, emotional instability, manipulation tactics, or other toxic behaviors that only emerge after you're involved. The term is heavily used in dating app and relationship advice contexts. There's also a 地雷系 fashion subculture (dark, doll-like aesthetic) that is related but distinct.
