Being afraid or disgusted by women who go for younger men. Typically young men who are afraid of age gaps where the woman is the older one. A mother could be cougarphobic when they don't want their son dating older women and automatically assume the women are trying to take advantage of their son before getting to know them. Or anyone who thinks older women who go for younger men are gross. Cougarphobia is also a form of ageism - discrimination based on age.
Mom: Braxton, you're only 19. This woman is 14 years older than you so she's a predator who is trying to take advantage of your age and innocence.

Braxton: Mom, you haven't even given her a chance. She's much nicer than most girls my age and she likes me for my personality, not just sex and looks. I'm also an adult now and can make my own decisions. You're being cougar-phobic.

Carbondale Cougar

Share definition
A 30+ year old female of the Carbondale Area noted for overly tanned skin, whose recently crumbled long-term relationship has caused extreme whorish behavior, including banging their employees, getting people they have banged jobs with them, and generally acting like a typical bar fly slut. They also have an insatiable craving for Carbondale Clam Chowder.
Watercooler discussion at work:

Dude 1: "Yo, did you see how slutty Sally's dressed today?"
Dude 2: "Yeah, I mean, what the fuck is her deal anymore? She totally went fuck-crazy after she got power-dumped by that crack dealer she was shacked up with."
Dude 1: "Oh hell yeah. I'm gonna take her out for a drink after work. I'm gonna give that Carbondale Cougar the old Scranton Snowplow."

A female who appears to favor younger, less refined wines over older vintages that are more deeply flavored and richer to experience -- and consequently more expensive. WCs are primarily found in urban areas, frequent gyms and bars, and claim they don't mind paying for their own drinks, dammit.
Uh-oh. Here comes another wine cougar. Best break out a box of White Zinfandel.
