Slang term for a woman among a group of single women at an enetertainment venue, whose self-appointed task is to prevent single males or groups of males from approaching any of the members of "her" group.
While not always physically unattractive, the manager of a group will always have an unattractive attitude towards socail interaction with men, possibly due to a traumatic experience herself. Astoundingly, few if any are lesbians despite male belief; Many are in fact as despairingly lonely and in need of male companionship as any other single woman if not more so on average. They are in fact reacting in a manner as close to aggresive as their upbringing will allow.

Telling employees that they really are not understaffed by using "numbers" when we all know that numbers can tell whatever story you wish to tell, truth and fallacy. Directing you to the REAL definition of "Management" which Merriam Webster does not agree.
Management: We crunched the numbers and you really don't need that many staff--how can you disagree with the numbers? Just because we had 6 people before, had added .5, and now have just doesn't mean you need that many!
