There's "cougar annoyed" and then there's "cougar pissed off."

Luis, the sweet manager of the building where I live, slipped a cougar lawsuit news flash under my door last night along with a note. He apparently caught my cougar opinion on Page Six of the New York Post about my not loving that term, and my search for a better word to describe a "woman who chooses to play/date/carouse/befriend a younger man."

Luis wrote, "Looks like some Southern California ladies followed your lead" and attached a story from TMZ called "The Great Cougar Hunt Lawsuit."

Back in 2007, three respectable women got dressed up and went out to a club called Chapter 8 in Agoura Hills in Southern California to have some fun, seemingly without the intention of meeting any men at all. Okay, if they say so.

They were filmed without their consent and ended up being featured in an offensive national TV segment on the G4 television network called "The Great Cougar Hunt."

The TV segment describes cougars as the easiest and most ravenous prey for younger men.

Here we go with again with that "preying" concept. I thought it was the other way around, and have previously written that the word "cougar" just makes it sound like older women are pouncing on innocent young men, when truthfully we are "treating them" to the experience of wisdom and an occasional expensive dinner.

The news came out this week the women are suing G4 and the two hosts of the show for more than a million dollars.

Something tells me they don't like that word, either.
