Bonnie and Clyde
Depression-era outlaws
Bonnie and Clyde were American outlaws during the Great Depression, killed in a police ambush in 1934.
Their names have become shorthand for a romantically involved criminal duo: Those two are like Bonnie and Clyde.
The phrase suggests partners in crime who are also lovers, often with connotations of reckless devotion and doomed glamour.
