To answer Dan's recent question about a definition for hockey mom, I consulted my two favorite modern linguistic specialists: Wikipedia and UrbanDictionary.
I'm afraid both have beat us to the punch by indirectly defining the term. Thanks to some recent editing - "hockey mom" auto-redirects Wikipedia visitors to soccer mom entry and already notes Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin's reference. Labeling it as a blue-collar variety of the suburban soccer mom.
UrbanDictionary does Wikipedia one better. It has no entry for hockey mom but instead defines a hockey milf, as a "hot hockey mom." This suggests the terms is already well-known in our society and already ready for more iterations.
