DILF

What Does DILF Mean in a Text?

DILF usually means "Dad I'd Like to F*ck." It is also sometimes used with the meaning "Divorcee I'd Like to F*ck." This second meaning is rarer because DILF has its roots in MILF ("Mother I'd Like to F*ck"), which established the first letter of such acronyms as representing a familial position. However, there really are no rules regarding online abbreviations, so here is more information about both of these definitions of DILF.

DILF is typically used by teenage girls and young women with the meaning "Dad I'd Like to F*ck," to refer to a sexually attractive older man. According to the strictest definition of the term, a DILF is an attractive man who has children. However, it is often used to refer to any attractive man who is older than the speaker. For example:

  • Sally: "You are such a DILF!"
  • Dan: "And you are such a MILF. I am so lucky to be married to you."
DILF is one of a number of terms used to refer to sexy or good-looking older men. Others include beekeeping age ("An Attractive Older Man") and GDILF ("Grandad I'd Like To F*ck").

DILF may also mean "Divorcee I'd Like to F*ck." In this context, the term is used to refer to an attractive person of any gender who has recently been divorced. For example:

"When Stacey's mom was a MILF, she was hot. Now she's a DILF, I want to marry her!"

Origin of DILF

Just as with GILF, GMILF, and GDILF (which all refer to sexy grandparents), as well as SMILF ("Single Mother I'd Like to F*ck"), DILF is based on the acronym MILF. Check out our MILF video:

An Academic Look at DILF

DILF is classified as an acronym, because it is formed by taking the initial letters of the words "Dad I'd Like (to) F*ck" and pronouncing them together as a single word, "dilf." Other examples of acronyms are:

  • NASA - "National Aeronautics and Space Administration."
  • UNICEF - "United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund."
Acronyms are often used as shorthand in many professional fields, such as technology, business, medicine, and government, as well as in general chat. They can help save time and space when communicating, especially when talking about complex or technical information.

Acronyms differ from initialism abbreviations, which are pronounced using their individual letters.
