美劇《熟女鎮》播出以后，人們對代表熟女的cougar一詞也熟悉起來。其實愛吃嫩草的女人還有一個別稱，就是puma（美洲獅），指的是那些年紀在三十歲左右，魅力四射的輕熟女。

　　Puma refers to an attractive woman in her late 20s or early 30s. She is a pre-cougar. Cougar is an older woman who frequents clubs in order to score with a much younger man.

　　“美洲獅”指的是年紀在三十歲左右的漂亮女人。她具有發展為熟女的潛力。熟女指的是經常光臨夜店、以釣到年輕男子為目的的老女人。

　　Example:

　　I think that puma just grabbed my ass.

　　那只“美洲獅”剛剛摸了我的屁股！
