Lost in translation

The expression 'soccer mom' is unknown in England where I live. Can anyone enlighten me as to what it means?

Yes，I would also like to know the specific meaning of this expression.

 

[mark_j]

A "soccer mom" is a term, originating in the 1990s US, for a suburban, middle-class mother who spends significant time transporting school-age children to sports, especially soccer. She is typically characterized as a dedicated, organized, and busy parent focused on supporting her children's extracurricular activities.

This is the basic explanation. There's a lot more to it than this, but you should get the gist of it.

I thought it came from the lyrics of a song
"used to be a bad girl... but now I am a Volvo-driving soccer mom"

Naw... I think the ones you recall went like this:

Your Mama used to be a ho..
But now she shops at Costco...

Or some silly shit like that.
