Cougar (slang)
Cougar is a slang term referring to a woman who seeks sexual relations with considerably younger men.
Typically, the term refers to women at least 35 years old who pursue men more than seven years younger.[1] The origin of the word is debated, but it is thought to have originated in Western Canada and first appeared in print on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com,[2] and has been used in TV series, advertising and film. The 2007 film Cougar Club was dedicated to the subject, and in spring 2009 TV Land aired a reality show called The Cougar. The sitcom Cougar Town originally explored the difficulty and stigma of many so-called "cougars".
