MILF
MILF, an acronym for "Mother I'd Like to Fuck", is a common colloquial term generally regarded as vulgar when spelled out.
Usage
M.I.L.F. denotes a sexually attractive mother, generally between 30 and 50 years of age. The term was popularized by the film American Pie (1999)[1], though the origin of the term predates this (the term was already used for years on the Internet).[2]
In 2007, Spirit Airlines ran a promotional campaign titled "M.I.L.F.", described as meaning "Many Islands, Low Fares".[3]
Tori Amos' song "Big Wheel" on her 2007 album American Doll Posse refers to herself (or rather the character she portrays in the song) as a MILF.[4]
Characters in the Showtime television series "Weeds" at one time sold a marijuana species identified as "milfweed" based on a song by Snoop Dog. [5]
Yummy Mummy
The non-offensive term Yummy Mummy[6] also applies particularly in the UK, however, there is a school of thought that this should only be applied to women under 30 and who are actual mothers.[7]
