Suburban Moms: Ahead of the Curve?
















It is well known that new slang eventually percolates to levels of mass awareness. The common believe that suburban moms are just about the last to find out about new forms of speech, art, music, etc, is widespread.

On the whole, with a weighted statistical average of year of adaptation, it seems moms are way ahead of the curve...
