You ogled [ = did ogle ] that girl, didn't you. Tu as regardé cette fille hein / tu vas pas dire le contraire / avoue !

You know [ = do know ] I'm going after Stripes, don't you, boy?

Nobody minds about that, do they? BBC radio 4, Today, 24.5.2002.
Reprise de nobody par they (comme pour tous les noms et pronoms indéfinis). Nobody minds = nobody does mind Nobody équivaut à une négation : le tag est donc affirmatif -> do.
Ginger has [ = does have ] good manners, doesn't she?

1 et 2 sont construits sur le même modèle :
1 - Nobody diets over Christmas, do they? I certainly didn't.
Millions took a deliciously indulgent diet
holiday over Christmas.
L'exemple ci-dessus montre bien que la question tag classique (affirmatif -> négatif ou vice versa) n'est pas une vraie question, mais une manière d'interpeller son interlocuteur, soit pour mettre en doute une évidence, soit au contraire pour lui présenter une idée comme évidente : Personne ne fait de régime à Noël, hein / pas vrai / on est bien d'accord / c'est évident, non ? On voit bien ici que la question tag ne fait pas sens seule. Elle ne prend son sens que reliée à un ou plusieurs énoncés.
2 - Everyone has their share of bad luck, don’t they? GE, G2, headline, p. IV, 15.3.2002.
have auxiliaire ≠ have verbe Everyone has (ici verbe avoir) = Everyone does have + reprise de everyone par they.
You liked [ = did like ] Big Dan, didn't you?

The brain… it makes you think. Doesn't it? it makes you think = it does make you think [ Doesn't it? met en doute it makes you think ]
Are we governed by unconscious processes? Neuroscience believes so – but isn't the human condition more complicated than that?
Two experts offer different views
The brain… it
makes you think. Doesn't it?, O, 29.4.2012,
That seems extraordinary, doesn’t it? That seems = That does seem + reprise de that par it.
You think you’re so clever, don’t you? You think = You do think
Scientists by nature are optimists. You have to be, don't you. Tears of a clone, GE/GE2, p. 4, 19.4.2002. You have (ici verbe avoir) = you do have
