A question on wordplay and terminology

[Asiril]

So, a wierd thing popped into my head. A particular phrase, that I've never seen uttered.

Cougar.

Now I'm not talking as in, big kitty. I'm talking Cougar as in elder woman that 'preys' on younger men.

Is that still used in furdom or is that like racist against particular felines? Not that I've seen any actual cougar furs.

I have never seen any 'cougar' furs either, but I know of some Puma's. Probably just a safer name for one to call oneself :p  

[LordStripeyTail]

I've seen quite a few. One of which is a friend that shares many interests of mine.

And to answer your question, no, there's no real negative connotation to using the word "cougar" towards a cougar.  

[Asiril]

Well what if there happens to be a Cougar thats a 'cougar'...or what if it's a wolf thats a 'cougar' would that be calling her a p***y in od wordplay and be negitive, or would it just be simply implied of the age play.

Or am I just overthinking this to an extreme.  

[LordStripeyTail]

I'm pretty sure you're waaaayyyy overthinking it x3  

[Asiril]

Am I? Am I really? *Twilight Zone Music*
Hosh- where did that come from eek  

[Hoomiku]

It's just a codeword so those who're only 'in the know' would understand.

The same goes for "bears" and "chickens", etc.

This is as things are. The original topic lost very quickly :p  

[Asiril]

Well I want to meet a cougar fur to find out if she is in fact a cougar. An see if I can do it without gettin slapped.

Never come across 'that' type of problem, I've never met cougars but I think it's a delicate question.
Good luck~
