Yummy Mummy (slang)
Yummy mummy is a slang term used to describe an attractive mother. The term developed in the late 20th century, and was often applied to celebrity mothers such as Elizabeth Hurley or Victoria Beckham, who appeared to quickly regain their pre-pregnancy figures after giving birth, and would continue to lead carefree and affluent lifestyles. Episode 13 of series six of ''The Nanny'' (airing in 1999) was called "The Yummy Mummy". A stereotypical ''yummy mummy'' was described by Nirpal Dhaliwal in ''The Times'' as having an existence "bankrolled by a husband working himself to death in the City, ressingin designer outfits... carries the latest must-have bag ndwhose hair and nails are perfectly groomed". Yummy mummy has a similar slang connotation to MILF, but suggesting a younger subject. It was reported in 2008 that celebrity ''yummy mummies'' were contributing to levels of depression in young mothers, making new mothers feel "saggy, baggy and depressed" about their own bodies. ...

The Times
''The Times'' is a British daily national newspaper based in London. It began in 1785 under the title ''The Daily Universal Register'', adopting its current name on 1 January 1788.

MILF
MILF (, as if read as "milf") is an acronym that stands for "Mother I'd Like to Fuck". This abbreviation is used in colloquial English, instead of the whole phrase. It connotes an older woman considered sexually attractive, typically one who has children. The phrase's usage has gone from relatively obscure to mainstream in the media and entertainment. A related term is "cougar", which suggests an older woman in active pursuit of younger men. History Linguist Laurel A. Sutton states that MILF was one of nine terms for "attractive women" collected from undergraduates at a large linguistics class at Berkeley in the spring of 1992. Stereotypical users would be "college students from East Contra Costa, California". The term was widely popularized by the film '' American Pie'' (1999), where John Cho's character (simply credited as 'MILF Guy No. 2') used the term to refer to Jennifer Coolidge's character Jeanine Stifler. A 2007 article in ''New York'' magazine stated the evidence th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trophy Wife
A trophy wife is a wife who is regarded as a status symbol for the husband. The term is often used in a derogatory or disparaging way, implying that the wife in question has little personal merit besides her physical attractiveness, requires substantial expense for maintaining her appearance, is often unintelligent or unsophisticated, does very little of substance beyond remaining attractive, and is in some ways synonymous with the term gold digger. A trophy wife is typically relatively young and attractive, and may be a second, third or later wife of an older, wealthier man. A trophy husband is the male equivalent. History In his ''Theory of the Leisure Class'' (1899), Thorstein Veblen suggested that "The original reason for the seizure and appropriation of women seems to have been their usefulness as trophies." The term's more recent etymological origins are disputed. One claim is that "trophy wife" originally appeared in a 1950 issue of ''The Economist'' newspaper, referrin ...

Cougar (slang)
Cougar is a slang term for a woman who seeks romantic or sexual relationships with significantly younger men. Terminology and age The origin of the word ''cougar'' as a slang term is debated, but it is thought to have originated in Western Canada and first appeared in print on the Canadian dating website Cougardate.com. It has also been stated to have "originated in Vancouver, British Columbia, as a put-down for older women who would go to bars and go home with whoever was left at the end of the night". Though, like many formerly derogatory terms, there has been an increasing effort to "reclaim" the term in recent years. The term has been variously applied to middle-aged women who pursue sexual relations with men more than ten years younger than they are. Academia A 2010 British psychological study published in ''Evolution and Human Behavior'' asserted that men and women, in general, continue to follow traditional gender roles when searching for mates, and thus concluded that t ...
