To remove a particular adorable cutie from da dating pool and designate her as a "public chick" whom everyone can love and cuddle wif, but who may not be "snatched up" for an exclusive relationship by any individual bachelor.
Neighborhood grandmas have traditionally been "old maid" individuals --- i.e., they have never been married --- and so I wonder if some of them started out as commondeared teenagers.
