Word of the Day - Cougar Hunting

Urban Dictionary defines cougar hunting to be when "younger men go prowling for older women." The reason for this terminology is due to the implicit dangers of cougar hunting, such as getting a wine bottle reamed up one's rear or being clobbered with a chair. The question is obviously: Why face these risks when the cougar isn't even very desirable to begin with?

Enter into the world of Ray Bradbury's The Most Dangerous Game. In it we find that it is not the cape buffalo, the grizzly bear, or the liger that is the most deadly animal, but the human. General Zaroff, after hunting every known dangerous animal, gets bored and only when a renowned hunter, by the name of Sanger Rainsford, is marooned on his remote jungle island does Zaroff meet his match.

Therefore, it makes sense that when one gets bored of the usual prowling, one traverses into the realm of cougar hunting, the most dangerous game.
