What is a social security single mom? Genuinely asking

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 26 points 1 week ago (7 children)

In my neck of the woods it’s a derogatory term for women who are bragging about income while also receiving large child support checks + government assistance. I’ve only seen it used for strippers who have 3+ baby daddies collecting checks for full custody. Bragging about buying a new Escalade while being on government assistance is considered trashy. For perspective I don’t hate the players just the game.

Who decided to call them social security moms? Isn’t social security for retired elderly people? I highly doubt these people are getting social security.

English isn't my first language

Gotcha, I can understand your mistake but the other commenter made it sound like it was some sort of widely used slang.
