This was originally tag as a CSD G1, patent nonsense. I rejected it as a speedy as being a neologism is not a speedy criteria, and it is not patent nonsense. I tagged it for PROD as "Non-notable neologism". This was removed by an anon with the comment. "i do object to the deletion of this article -- i think the term's prominent inclusion in the daily show makes it notable". As near as I can tell, this term was invented by the Daily Show. Beyond this usage there appears to be no other reliable sources using this term.

 * Delete Daily Show inspired prank article. Artw 07:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * All the same, there are all ready 1500 google hits for FLILF. It seems to have struck a nerve.  Serendi pod ous  07:41, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not an appropriate site for articles about humorous acronyms used in a comedy skit on TV two days ago. The water cooler at work is a more appropriate site. Edison 13:12, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Just my humble thoughts.  I heard the term on TDS and typed it into Wikipedia because I was curious what else there was to know about it.  The article is limited in information at the moment, but I found it useful, and I think others might, too.
 * Over 15,000 Google hits now, some with dates going back a couple years. 24.59.148.187 13:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete junk JuJube 14:39, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a neologism unlikely to ever see widespread use (even if Fred Thompson were to become president...) Dethme0w 19:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep This term was in use even before Daily show used it. Now, after its use on Daily show, it will only rise in prominence. It could easily become a cultural reference for future presidential elections in not just USA, but other countries too. Abhiag 23:54, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a repository for the punchlines of jokes. --awh (Talk) 00:08, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete If MILF doesn't warrant its own article, then this should not.Hoponpop69 01:03, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
