The milves were busy making loaves of bread, tending to their calves and wolves, and placing their knives back on their shelves.
Being that they were milves, they were wearing only their brieves, which was standard for when they were under their own rooves.
Some oaves in the neighborhood chauvanistically assumed the milves were little more than cheves, and thought themselves better than the milves.
So the milves asked the oaves for prooves.
Alas, the oaves had none and were shaken in their believes.
In celebration, the milves asked the oaves for their finest scarves. After turning them over, the milves cut them in halves and scornfully said: “We milves are equal to you oaves. As punishment for your wrongdoing, you must become eternal thieves of the leaves of olive trees along the cliffves and bluffves.”
The oaves left for good, never to return. The milves then decided to marry one another and lived happy lives as wives in brieves under their rooves — making their loaves, tending to their calves and wolves, and keeping their knives off the shelves and at the ready should the oaves ever return with their sheaves of leaves.

Finally some real discussion on this site.
I don't really have much else to add here, I think @Bonooru's and @Banazir's line of reasoning applies here. MILF is an acronym and English tends to pluralize acronyms with a simple "-s" at the end. DVDs, AGs, CDs, MILFs.
Shouldn't the collective noun for a group of moms be a minivan-load? Or (perhaps less charitably), a leather bag? The c ollective noun for Timothee Chalomet would be either a Zendaya or a sandy...

Because it's an acronym, I would say it's "MILFs". One could also argue that since "Mothers" is the plural part, MILF is both singular and plural. I am not making this argument, but bringing up as...

Congratulations on posting the first topic with a "milf" tag.
I propose we standardize the tag to the consensus of the topic so that we may accurately tag the many, many future milf topics yet to come.
In my mind, Milf has become a word unto itself removed from its original acronym. I feel like it should be Milves, like Tolkien did with Dwarves, yes. I agree with you.

GIF is actually pronounced "deprecated waste of bandwidth, use a modern video format." It's a common misconception.
The original peanut butter pun intended by the developers is the second most right, though.
If someone pronounced "milves" in a sentence I wouldn't know what they were talking about... maybe I would hear "mills" (like windmills)?? Additionally, if you write MILFs I can Ctrl+F "MILF" and...

Additionally, if you write MILFs I can Ctrl+F "MILF" and still see relevant content whereas "milves" will mismatch on "v"
I think we've already come to a consensus, but I just want to tack on that the other "-ILF" acronyms sound significantly worse. I don't think ILF dilves or gilves.

I think we're going about this all wrong. As an acronym, MILF always gets treated as a noun. But to give this loving term the respect it needs, it should be elevated to being used as an adjective....

For example, keep it in the family and pair "MILF" with "baby" to create "MILFbaby", as in:
"Whoa, did you see that MILFbaby over there? Now, that's an additional member to the family portrait I'd like to add."
Trick question: MILF dervies from the Latin "milfus" -- loosely translated as "to have aged like a fine vinum [1]" -- therefore the entomologically correct plural form is "milfi". [1] translator's...

Since the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General and the abbreviations thereof are AG and AGs. It follows that MILF should be MILFs.

DVDs and CDs aren't great examples as the last word in those acronyms simply gain an 's' for the plural anyway. But I do otherwise agree.
It's called "a pride".
I could use direction on what the plural of Timothée Chalamet would be
Since the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General it follows that the plural is Timothées Chalamet.
Timmy Chimmees
Shouldn't the collective noun for a group of moms be a minivan-load? Or (perhaps less charitably), a leather bag?
The c
ollective noun for Timothee Chalomet would be either a Zendaya or a sandy cane.
Also, I wanted to take this chance to share my favorite meme of collective nouns
Does a 101.5 FM exist in every city?
I drop 101.5 “The Hammer” FM of months into conversation at every gloriously rare opportunity.
Because it's an acronym, I would say it's "MILFs".
One could also argue that since "Mothers" is the plural part, MILF is both singular and plural. I am not making this argument, but bringing up as a potential (wrong) option.
See, I and many others use it as a proper noun at this point. So my half-conscious brain running on 2.5 hours of sleep had this genius idea
New acronym unlocked: Mothers I'd Like to Very Enthusiastically Sex
You could technically use MsILF then no? (Emms ill ff)
Congratulations on posting the first topic with a "milf" tag.
I propose we standardize the tag to the consensus of the topic so that we may accurately tag the many, many future milf topics yet to come.
Tolkien would probably prefer milves, he originally preferred "dwarfs" as the plural for "dwarf" but changed his mind later to "dwarves"
In my mind, Milf has become a word unto itself removed from its original acronym. I feel like it should be Milves, like Tolkien did with Dwarves, yes. I agree with you.
MsILF
The collective noun for a group of them is called a Coolidge
I really do think it's MILFs. We say gifs and radars, right? We usually pluralise acronyms as they are.
You mispronounced gifs though, I think you meant jifs.
Get out.
GIF is actually pronounced "deprecated waste of bandwidth, use a modern video format." It's a common misconception.
The original peanut butter pun intended by the developers is the second most right, though.
You mean zhaif?
Since the plural of Attorney General is Attorneys General. It follows that the plural of gifs is radarves. Yes, like Tolkien did.
When I say this (as oft I do), I tend to pronounce as "milves" (easy to pronounce) even though I would spell it MILFs in writing
I'm the same. I write MILFs, I say milves, but if I saw milves written I'd think it was incorrect.
If someone pronounced "milves" in a sentence I wouldn't know what they were talking about... maybe I would hear "mills" (like windmills)??
Additionally, if you write MILFs I can Ctrl+F "MILF" and still see relevant content whereas "milves" will mismatch on "v"

I think we're going about this all wrong. As an acronym, MILF always gets treated as a noun. But to give this loving term the respect it needs, it should be elevated to being used as an adjective.
For example, keep it in the family and pair "MILF" with "baby" to create "MILFbaby", as in:
Well I hate the term "keeping it in the family" and adding "baby" in about equal measure which is perhaps impressive
Trick question: MILF dervies from the Latin "milfus" -- loosely translated as "to have aged like a fine vinum [1]" -- therefore the entomologically correct plural form is "milfi".
[1] translator's note: vinum means wine
I vote milves because it's more fun, but @Bauke should make this a survey question so we can settle this once and for all.
