Origins Of The Cougar

A little trivia for you: The origins of the term “cougar” dates back to the 1980’s when members of the Vancouver Canucks used it in the locker room as a derogatory name for the team’s older groupies. But the concept has been around much longer.

Hot, tight-bodied older women have always fueled younger men’s sexual fantasies since our fathers were our age. (Just watch 1967’s The Graduate to see Dustin Hoffman seduced by pop-culture’s first cougar.) But now that every “The View”-watching wildcat is lusting after boy-toy ass, a new breed of sexed-up older ladies is upon us – and no man is safe.

From Mrs. Robinson to Sharon Stone, DETAILS takes a look at the social evolution of the cougar in this month’s Saturation Point: Cougars.

    Weird Al porn?

  • northerner says:

    Yep, that pic of Tina Fey bending over is, um, yeah. Makes you want to come up behind her and…well…you know.

  • Johnny2Bad says:

    The Canucks story is believable, although they might not be the “true” origins, it’s as good as any. I will say it’s definitely a locker-room hockey term from the 80’s, because that’s where it came to me.

    It was common slang around Western Canada by the end of that decade if you were a twenty-something male at the time (as I was) although we would use the term “Coog” more often than the full “Cougar”.

    If you played mens league hockey (guys in their 20’s + 30’s, mostly) you were a “Rink Rat” … means you spend all day and night at the rink.

    In Eastern Canada they call hockey groupies “Puck Bunnies”. I don’t hear that one much out West.

    “East” and “West” in Canada refers to a line drawn at the Manitoba/Ontario border; basically at Minnesota/Wisconsin if you live in the US, or if you project it south, a line drawn down to Texas/Louisiana.

Hannah Hilton is Today’s Daily Snapshot

Busty, blond and bodaciously beautiful, 24-year-old Hannah Hilton has quickly become a household name – at least in households with dudes who watch a lot of porn. The former high school cheerleader and Dairy Queen employee first got her start in the nude modeling business after having photos of her online noticed by an agent in L.A. And before she knew it, she was a Penthouse Pet of the Month.
