How it's used
This expression is highly derogatory and specifically targets older women who exhibit flirtatious or sexually suggestive behavior. It carries a strong sense of social disapproval and is considered offensive, as it mocks the person for acting in a way deemed inappropriate for their age. Avoid using this in any formal or polite setting.
Examples
She is always acting promiscuously, it is really embarrassing.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with general flirtatious behavior, as this term is exclusively used to insult older women. Using it to describe a younger person is incorrect and will be perceived as confusing or nonsensical.
