A MINX is a flirtatious woman who behaves in a teasing and mischievous manner. The term is derived from the Middle English word 'mynx' which means a wanton or lascivious woman. A COQUETTE is a woman who flirts with men for her own amusement, often without any intention of being serious. She may be seen as manipulative and self-centered. Both terms describe a woman who is playful and flirtatious in her interactions with men.
