We have a special guest on, Jessica Bennett, a NY Times Author and NYU Professor, and host of the podcast In Retrospect, to take us through the origins of the term "The MILF" (Mom I'd like to F*ck)

We discuss the cultural impact of the MILF, include how the DILF is related, the difference between the MILF and the Cougar, reclaiming sexist language, the WORD of the year, and of course many high school memories tangents. Linguistics are hot!

Please follow Jessica here and listen to her podcast! It is very RAM coded.

As always, check us out us here to see our social media accounts, merch, event updates, and our premium subscription for $7.99 per month for TWO bonus episodes!

Created and produced by Tess Bellomo and Claire Donald
