"Heathens" is an expression that means a person who does not follow a religion and is lacking morals and principles. Calling someone a heathen is basically telling him or her that she is lying, cheating, or doing something that is considered bad. For example, in this video, the children replaced her hair product with glue. She calls them heathens because they did something that is considered really bad. Ex: You little heathen! You are grounded for a month. Ex: My cats are heathens sometimes. They will bite me if I take their toys away. Ex: Those boys are heathens! They cheated during the race.
