Get the yafflemug. Usually in her late teens to late twenties, a dog-tongue "hangs out" at bars and clubs with other dog-tongues.
Dog-tongues don't take relationships seriously. They like to lead (usually) older and wealthy men on for their own ends before dumping them and moving on to the next victim. Dog-tongues are predatory, using their superficial good looks to snare men and drag them from their existing partners, often with heartbreaking results. A dog-tongue can be compared to the mythical siren.
"Look at her! She's a real dog-tongue!"
"Saturday night - the dog-tongues are out again"

Get the mentmug. n. A loud middle-aged or elderly man usually found in pubs, betting shops, municipal golf courses, flea markets and bus rallies throughout the UK. The word 'putter' in this sense has origins in 'punter' and of course an old putter will 'putt around' - invariably getting in everone's way in the process.
Putters usually follow a traditional dress: Cap or trilby hat, golf attire, blazers, flasher-macs and unfashionable spectacles. They are very traditional in their views and despite their generally working class origins, they will vote Conservative.
Putters love to whistle- loudly. A putter's whistle is often tuneless and full of sentimental vibrato - usually some unmusical version of a wartime number.
Putters can be grumpy and very impatient with young people.
