Cougar is an actual English word. Originally it refers to a type of big cats, c-o-u-g-a-r, cougar的本意就是美洲狮, 是一种大型的猫科动物, but it has an entirely different meaning in pop culture.Put simply, a cougar in slang terms is an older woman who seeks a romantic or sexual relationship with men who are significantly younger. 就是大家都很熟悉的在老友记里演Monica的那一位, she actually started in a comedy show called Cougar Town. 她就曾经主演过一个长达六季的喜剧叫做Cougar Town. 这个词也是有很多的争议, 有一些人认为他是赋能女性的, 而且甚至是女权主义的, because women are taking control. 其实你想想看我们说的杀猪盘, 那个里面的older women一般都是受害者, but cougars they are the predators. They enjoy younger men.但也有人会觉得这其实就是一个misogynistic male fantasy, 其实它的根基还是男权社会里面的一种幻想,带着不少的情绪。
