what is a wasp mom

A WASP mom is an acronym that stands for White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Mom. The term WASP first came into use in the 1950s and is used to refer to white, wealthy moms that are essentially a “basic b*h” . In TikTok videos, a WASP mom is portrayed as passive-aggressive, over-the-top, and with a noticeable laugh, and almost always with a glass of wine in hand. They are often seen asking for discounts, demanding to speak to a manager, and even trying to skip the line for a COVID vaccine. Caitlin Reilly, a TikTok user and comedian, has created a character named Cheryl, who is the titular WASP mom in her videos. Cheryl is a master of being passive-aggressive, asking for discounts, and demanding to speak to a manager.
