MILF is an acronym that originated in popular culture and is often used to describe an attractive older woman, typically one who is a mother. The term gained significant traction and widespread recognition in the late 1990s and early 2000s, largely due to its appearance in films and other media.

The term's meaning is subjective and can vary depending on cultural context and individual perception. While often used in a sexualized or objectifying manner, it has also been adopted by some as a term of endearment or empowerment, though this usage is less common and can still be controversial. The generalization of women based on age and parental status is a point of criticism for the term.

The acronym's origins are debated, but its popularization is widely attributed to the 1999 film "American Pie." Since then, it has become a common, though often informal and sometimes offensive, part of contemporary slang. Its usage reflects societal attitudes towards female sexuality, aging, and motherhood. The term has been analyzed in discussions of gender, media representation, and popular culture.
