Wikipedia backs me up: [link]
Why do I even know that?? I probably learned it from my mother.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Your mother grows more interesting by the day. I stand corrected.
Also, I love this footnote from the wikipedia on "chicken":
^ This term is more common in the UK; the more common term in the US is twink..
I've always heard "chickenhawk" for older men who go after young women, but I never knew it applied to teh creepy old gay as well.
I've heard "Daddy" (which is a whole other type of disturbing to me), but I guess that's a really specific type of older/younger gay relationship.
Chickenhawk, no?
I think that one's being taken over by Persons Who Rah Rah Us Into War But Would Never Go Themselves Under Any Circs. Or at least in my blog circles.
I think it goes both ways. So to speak.
ita, do you have plans for saturday?
No, not a one.
Cougar is an animal with grandeur, and chickenhawk...well, it strikes me as a step down from hawk, at least. But wait--is the etymology that chickenhawks prey on (spring) chickens? What's the cougar etymology?
Maybe it's about older women pouncing on the young men?
ita, wanna come over for lunch Saturday?
Cougars can be fun.
So my mom bought plush toys at xmas for both Noah and Grace from Kohls. Noah got a Fox in Socks and Grace got Horton. Noah has gotten to a point where he falls asleep easiest while chewing on Fox. I thought Grace might prefer Fox to Horton and I thought it best to get a replacement Fox in case we lose Noah's.
But these were some special issue Kohl's cares thing. This is the second time my mom got us special issue things that the kids love and then when we need a replacement (for Grace, it was a dog blanket we named Spike that got dried in an industrial strength dryer which made it dredlocky) we can't get one.
Sigh. It's off to ebay.
