Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I think of "chickenhawk" as kind of sleazy older man interested in fellows that are slightly too young. A "daddy" is an attractive older man who may or may not be interested in younger men. Younger men would more likely be physically attracted to a daddy than to a chickenhawk.

I hadn't heard "dingo" in that context before. I'll only note that there's a big difference between a good-looking 40-year-old and a 40-year-old who tries (and fails miserably) to look and act like he's 20. As well as a 40-year-old whose a 20-year-old boyfriend thinks he has the sexiest eyes and one whose 20-year-old boyfriend likes receiving presents from him.

Because books.

So what's a "silver fox"?

I'm actually kind of afraid of what shrift might answer.

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

Cougar isn't an especially attractive term

Really? I think most of the big cats are attractive, what with the whole ultimate land predator thing they're working.

So what's a "silver fox"?

I always thought it was an attractive older person (not sure if it's gender neutral or not, but that's how I've interpreted it).

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

So what's a "silver fox"?

Just an attractive older man, right? Regardless of orientation? ("Silver" being his hair color.)

I've always gotten a really negative vibe from it, though I don't know that I could pinpoint why.

I realize that these tribes are kept track of so (we hope) no one bothers them, but the flyovers still, it seems to me, change life for them.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've always heard the term "troll" for an old gay man who tries to pick up young gay men....
