The first is the story of a woman in my office (here at Horn Dog Enterprises -- HDE) who walked around the entire place one day many years back asking everyone to vote for her in the WDVE (a local classic rock station) "MILF Contest." Gentleman that I am, I took her aside and asked if she knew what MILF meant. She didn't. It was a little awkward for a week or so thereafter (even for HDE).</div> <div> </div> <div>Anyway, in the tune, you get the feeling that the speaker is basically a young man, probably of high school age, who finds himself enamoured with "Stacey's Mom," right? I would argue that this is the usual / traditional sense of the acronym MILF -- spoken by a young man about someone's mother. That's kind of an important distinction because, technically speaking, "MILF" <em>could</em> be uttered by anyone of any age about <em>any</em> attractive woman who has borne a child. And, of course it's a <em>subjective</em> descriptor; a MILF to me may not be a MILF to you. But, again, I think it's safe to call it a young man's term.</div> <div> </div> <div>It's also pretty much solely a guy thing (e.g., there being no equivalent term "DILF"), although MILF could technically be applied in a lesbian context (though I've never heard it used that way -- which, btw, would make interesting blog fodder).</div> <div> </div> <div>As defined above, I never found myself in situation in which the term MILF would have been applicable. And, as I'm now clinging desperately to my late 30s, I suppose the window of opportunity has long passed for the proper use of that term. But I do vividly recall one MILF, at least as far as some of my friends were concerned. </div> <div> </div> <div>There's a guy who reads this blog sometimes called Denn The Hunter (referred to in my book, <a href="http://bsuwg.blogspot.com/2007/09/tales-of-midwest-unleashed-on-world.html"><em>Tales of the Midwest</em></a> as Alec Baldwin). <em>Quite a few</em> young men had a crush on Mrs. Baldwin -- especially a guy called Hero in my book. I was probably the <em>only</em> guy, aside from the Baldwin brothers, who <em>didn't</em> think of Mrs. Baldwin as a MILF, and that's probably only because I spent so much time at their house, she was kind of like a mother to me (or, well, maybe an aunt or something). </div> <div> </div> <div>But Hero was so delusional about his MILF crush (and probably other things) that I think he actually believed he had a shot with Mrs. Baldwin. Once when we were 16 or 17, I recall him vocalizing a decision one day: "I'm gonna lay one on her," he'd said. That was typical Hero stuff, of course. I don't think he ever did, thankfully.</div> <div> </div> <div>Happy 4th of July.
