An acronym meaning Conservative Ignorant Female American; coined by the ThePlaidCrew.com news & politics blog.

It is a suburban female with Christian values who has rarely follows news that is not covered on Regis and Kelly or the fourth hour of the Today Show.

This woman thinks that watching the news is unpleasant, and thus, remains ill-informed on important issues. This lack of knowledge does not, however, deter her from voicing her opinion and believing that her worldview is the right one.

You will typically find these women in their idling Hummers outside their children's hockey practices or in PTA meetings trying to get books banned.

They typically vote the way their husbands tell them to, and live their lives according to that day's episode of Oprah.

Famous CIFA's: Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Sarah Palin, Kelly Ripa, Kathy Lee Gifford, that woman in the PTA who got Halloween costumes banned at your kids' school.
"Only a CIFA would think Sarah Palin is a good vice presidential candidate."

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
