I came across the phrase on Urban Dictionary, and the definition was basically stream-of-consciousness nonsense...anyone know what it refers to? Excuse me for cluttering up Linguistics with a pretty trivial topic, but I'm just curious, and it is a kind of cool sounding phrase. The 'Maw' part. Sounds like a place name, a la death valley...'Don't go to Addison's maw after dark.'

"Maw" is the hillbilly pronunciation of "ma." Check out an old Snuffy Smith comic strip. "Maw, whar's mah vittles?" The Urban Dictionary makes it clear that it means "mother." It's just a reference to the teenage boys' fantasy of being seduced by one of their friends' mothers, a la Gabriela in "Desperate Housewives." The acronym MILF is more common these days.
I thought place name as well. Maw as in an animals mouth. Like 'the gaping maw of hell'. Addison's Maw sounds like a very dangerous place in a scifi novel/movie. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
My take on a quick read of the Urban Dictionary "definition" is that does mean "mother" i.e. all schoolboys fancy their best mate's mother. Standard fantasy:- that you have sex with her.
I thought the maw thing was a mouth too. Jeez, is that what is refers to? O_O. Whoever posted that could have made a coherent entry instead of that weird shit. Yay. I'm not the only one. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
