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..

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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?

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.

OK, so any lovey type thing, I get at least 2 and make sure it isn't special issue?

Sara, if you are buying something for Grace and Noah, we're appreciative, but it's not necessary!
It's just really funny. Gracie has Spike and we found a Spike-Replacement, plus Doggy and Bunny. And she goes through them all. Of course, little girl has more need for self-soothing than Noah does. (Today, her lungs sounded tight, so the RT had to bag a Zopanex treatment while we were there. She fought it the whole time and damn, she's strong... by the end, her heart rate was over 200.... poor thing).
YAY! Fox replacements have been found and purchased!
