YANBU, I also hate all the spin offs from it "GILF" etc.

bubblecoral · 21/05/2011 18:11

I've been called that a couple of times. Tacky and cringeworthy but harmless really.

mumnotmachine · 21/05/2011 18:11

What does it mean?

I assumed it was something to do with mother in law?

bisybackson · 21/05/2011 18:12

Eugh. I had to google that. Better than googling dragon butter, but yuck all the same.

ajandjjmum · 21/05/2011 18:12

Not nice - but I suspect I'm just jealous as I'd never fall into that category! Grin

Tambern · 21/05/2011 18:13

It means Mother I'd like To Fuck. It's tacky and charmless and used by a certain type of person

Shakirasma · 21/05/2011 18:14

Oh I'd be made up if someone called me a MILF! What an ego boost.

Probably never happen :(

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe2726 · 21/05/2011 18:14

It sounds like a phrase coined by a woman.. I can't see a man thinking of anything like that with 'mother' in the title. Ick.. Confused

mumnotmachine · 21/05/2011 18:15

Ah LOL- couldnt have been much further from what it was/is!!

So its a sort of lusting after someone acronym?

Goes off to work out GILF**
Hmm God I'd like to f**?

fotheringhay · 21/05/2011 18:15

I hate it too, just thought of it earlier. No need for that at all.

fotheringhay · 21/05/2011 18:17

oh I sound like a right old killjoy now

mumnotmachine · 21/05/2011 18:17

So someone would say MILF Keanu Reeves (Yep showing my age)

Or they literally want to f*someones mother?

Clueless, and not googling LOL*

bigbadbarry · 21/05/2011 18:17

YANBU

AgentZigzag · 21/05/2011 18:20

From what I gather mumnotmachine, it's said by a younger lad of a woman in her 30/40's.

Shakirasma · 21/05/2011 18:21

Mumnotmachine

Eg. Wow, Victoria beckham is a MILF!

BelleDameSansMerci · 21/05/2011 18:22

It's a bloody awful term. It's supposed to be some sort of compliment but the whole "wow, she's a mother and I'd still like to fuck her" thing is just odd. Does this mean that the minute a "normal" woman has a child she immeediately becomes completely unattractive but that, in exceptional circumstances, there is a mother who is sexually attractive?

Really, really offensive, I think.

mumnotmachine · 21/05/2011 18:25

Well Im enlightened, thats for sure!!

And I will never have it said to me!!!!

So is GILF grandmother?

forwantofabetter1 · 21/05/2011 18:25

We were described as a gang of MILFs whilst out and about last night, made my evening x

Shakirasma · 21/05/2011 18:27

No belle.

It was originally used in the scenario of teen boys fancying their mates mums.

BelleDameSansMerci · 21/05/2011 18:27

GILF is grandmother...

BelleDameSansMerci · 21/05/2011 18:28

Shakirasma - I know where it came from but that's not how it's become more widely applied.

Cocoflower · 21/05/2011 18:30

It orginated from the American Pie movie AFAIK

It's just another term showing sexual objectification and nothing more...

Shakirasma · 21/05/2011 18:34

Yes it is belle. Nothing wrong with that once in a while
