How it's used
This expression uses the metaphor of juice oozing out to describe someone whose flirtatious behavior is so intense it is impossible to ignore. It carries a strong negative connotation and is almost exclusively used to criticize women for being overtly sexual or manipulative in their interactions with men. Because it is highly offensive and sexist, it should be avoided in polite or professional settings.
