"shamrock" - Word of the Day from the OED

[richardryannyc at yahoo.com]

Actually on reflection "Evita" doesn't literally count as a MILF since she died childless - although the term seems to get applied generically to strong, sexy older woman, as does the more recent coinage, "cougar."  Mary Queen of Scots (especially as played by Vanessa Redgrave)would have been a better and even more historically resonant example.

Note that VR as MQoS looks rather Ann-Coulter-ish in this still from the 1971 movie:
