How it's used
Refers specifically to a woman whose physical appearance is so striking that she is objectified as a rare treasure or prize. It carries a strong undertone of male gaze and is often used in a way that reduces a person to their sexual appeal. Avoid using this in professional or respectful social settings as it can sound derogatory or creepy.

Common mistake
Do not use this to describe a woman you genuinely respect or wish to compliment in a polite way, as it implies she is an object rather than a person.
