MILFs vs Cougars

November 30th, 2007 · 1 Comment

The meatheads on The Fan have taken to calling the on-again/off-again girlfriend of their producer “The Cougar”. I thought maybe I’d lost out on an inside joke from way back. Maybe she was a Washington State graduate. Turns out there’s a genre of single(?) woman out there called the Cougar. The Bachelor Guy has set me straight.

MILF: An acronym for Mom I’d Like to F*ck, the term gained widespread popularity after it was used in the film, American Pie. Some MILFs may still be married, but the recently divorced are the only ones you can safely pursue. (Unless you want her husband hunting you.) Some may eventually develop into full-blown Cougars.

Cougar: A woman generally over 40, who has “been around the mountain” a time or two. She may be long divorced, or in the case of particularly predatory Cougars, may never have been married.

Oh!  I get it now. Pete In Parkrose married a MILF.  Actually he didn’t “marry” a MILF.  He married a nice young lady and turned her into a MILF.

Wheras the “lady” I delivered food to a few weeks ago who told me she wasn’t high maintenance as she complained I’d arrived too early and was charging too much as one of her kids kicked me in the shin…she’s a cougar.  Good to know.

    Did you hear about the Cougar who went fishing with 4 guys?. She came back with a big red Snapper, and a case of crabs.
