Top 10 Buzzwords
#1. Cougar
An older woman who romantically pursues younger men. Example: Demi Moore,
45, snagging hubby Ashton Kutcher, 29. Although an offensive term to some,
others consider it a positive sign of society's increasing acceptance of
older women's sex appeal. This summer's reality show Age of Love went so
far as to pit a team of Cougars, in or near their 40s, against a team of
Kittens, all in their 20s, in a competition for the affections of a hunky
30-year-old. (Alas, a Kitten won.)
