This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Just for good meassure I've searched the term and it seems like people kind of forgot it's an acronym. Most definitions just say 'attractive older woman'.

Which is what I thought cougar described. Kids these days!

Edit: this has created a short comment chain that I adore..

No, a cougar is specifically on the prowl for fresh, young meat.

well, yes! Hurry up! Get your cougar!

I thought cougar was for women actively hunting for prey.

Even older part isn't relevant anymore. A 22 year old with a toddler is called milf.

THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS.

Nope.

MILF is someone who is considered attractive by peers of her children. Think Stacey's mom. So the theoretical milf can't be younger than 30.

You're right. American Pie corroborates your findings.

Of course it does. That was when the word still hadn't lost its meaning.
