vocabulary扩展 A cougar is a feline, but these cats are not tame house pets — they are dangerous wild animals. Found from Canada all the way to the South America, cougars are also called pumas, mountain lions, panthers, and catamounts. The word cougar is also a slang term for an older woman who dates much younger men. Even when it is meant to be a compliment, like any stereotype, cougar has the potential to offend — best to avoid.
