Oddly enough, this reminds me of the joke about the boy walking past an old man while the old man is sitting on a porch. The boy carries chicken wire on the first trip, Duck tape (yes, it’s a real brand of duct tape) on the second trip, and pussywillows on the third trip.
What I heard is that the original name was duck tape. “Duck” is a kind of canvas-like fabric that was the original backing for the adhesive.
My wife refused to allow me to score for either “Milf” or “Wilf” in a game of Boggle the other day, despite my explanation that she definitely qualified on both counts.
Good question. I’ve always viewed it as someone that has a kid. Not someone old enough to be your mother. It makes no sense to call a childless person of child-bearing years a milf, to me anyway.
I agree though, that old guys calling a 20 year old with a kid a milf is odd.
In “milf” porn, they’re generally just older women, and could as easily be called cougars.
