What defines a soccer mom? or a Nascar dad? I read about these demographics but I have no clue what would define such a person. Are soccer moms stay at home moms? Are nascar dads middle class guys who watch football and swill PBR? -Dave
Well Dave, one would think that a soccer mom, is a mom that takes the kids to soccer games. And a Nascar dad, would be a dad that watches Nascar... Is there something I'm missing about the question?
Soccer Mom/ NASCAR Dad The terms are just "buzz words" that campaign advisers came up with during the last, and the up-coming Presidential elections. These are the key groups of undecided voters that can make or break an election. Buzz is that for 2008 the key demographic group will be the Gay Badminton Uncles
Soccer mom's drive vans while sipping their Starbuck's mocha's and doing their makeup. They have no interest in driving above (or close to) the speed limit. When you get in back of one, all you can do is tailgate and brake while shaking your head and slamming your fist on the steering wheel. We need to get soccer mom's OFF the road to relieve the traffic bottlenecks all around the country!
SOCCER MOMS USUALLY DRIVE A MINI-VAN ALSO SUV MOMS, ARE THE SMALL WOMEN, USUALLY IN A EXCURSION OR SIMILIAR, DONT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE, WITH A CELL PHONE IN ONE HAND AND A LATTE IN THE OTHER....
HAHA- you guys forgot one thing about the soccer/suv mom- they are the ones that backup and do NOT know the dimensions or what they are driving and tend to sometimes even hit the car behind them... I saw one backup over a curb, I wonder if there was a car there!
"all you can do is tailgate and brake while shaking your head and slamming your fist on the steering wheel" thats hillarious, right on Peters
BRUCE...No. We must be twin sons of different mothers! .....TRIVIA TIME! What band had that title for one of their alblums?
My wife drives an H2 and hauls our three children to ice skating, horseback riding and church...no soccer though.
stereotypically, they are self absorbed, careless, self important moms who's sole purpose in life is their kids and the world be damned if anything gets in their way such as a person driving the speed limit.
Soccer Mom. 1. must drive an SUV bigger than a sherman tank 2. Must not beable to see over the dash board 3. must not be able to park without the use of a guide 4. must drive with on hand on the wheel and the other holding a cell phone or putting on make-up 5. Must have zero consideration for others on the road 6. Must always take more then 25 minutes at the drive through 7. Will do anything to show off her kids 8. Requiers expensive items to be bought with the husbands money 9. Must always wear one of those fuzzy furry hats in the winter. 10. Must always drive obsenly slow in snowy wheather 11. Must take soccer moms school of "how to ride the brake" 12. Must take a minum of 10 minutes to park the SUV in a spot not even large enough for a VWGolf and then realize they can't fit. and take another 15 minutes to try and get out of the box they drove themselves into.
Brilliant explanation. Add a cellphone and we're done. The new backlash is soccer mom pride as seen with the proliferation of these absurd magnets on the tailgate of said minivan, most of which are in the shape of--you guessed it--a soccer ball.
You forgot to mention the mom talking on the cell phone with the ENTIRE soccer team in the SUV with her, screaming at the top of their lungs and flipping off the driver that is tailgating them! DJ
Thank you for your responses. I was unsure if these were negative or positive "labels" for the given demographic in our society. I have seen the soccer balls on several trucks. Now I know what it symbolizes.
I have a phobia of soccer moms, though they haven't come up with a name for it yet. I would have to say that Plano and Frisco TX are the worst spots. We also have two of the worst intersections in the country.
I've actually seen some hot ones around here (soccer moms, not gay badminton uncles). But I wouldn't touch them with a ten-foot checkbook.
I saw a movie once where a soccer mom dropped off her kids at the soccer field and went home to meet the pool man before Nascar dad got home. Amazingly enough it was a true story; featured last month on Orca.... errrrrr Oprah. Turns out the pool man was an IRL fan and they ended up throwing chairs at each other while the audience chanted, "Orca, Orca, Orca." They are going to re-run it in syndication before the Daytona 500 next year. Check it out! DL
Hmmm NASCAR dad: Requirements 1. Flannel clothing, preferably shirts 2. White T-shirts worn as outer garments 3. Gigantic TV, rear projection, just fitting in the living room of the double-wide. 4. Either Chevy or Ford pick-up. Prefer Avalanche or F-150. 5. Foam beer cooler thingy 6. Considers Sizzler top notch vittles 7. Anything beyond the TWO-step is mass confusion. 8. Budweiser flows like wine at parties. Optional Equipment 1. Chicken Soup for the NASCAR fan. 2. At least one bull riding/rodeo belt buckle, either earned or purchased. 3. Guns, lots of guns. 4. Canine of questionable breeding 5. Spouse with whom he shares an alarming amount of DNA
My friend gave his sister a Shaguar S type, She decided what she really wanted was a Saturn Vue with the cabinets in back that hold the gallon milk jug & all her groceries, Vomit
Practical is not always the right choice. If that were the case, we all would be driving 3 cylinder, 65 HP, automatic, family busses shaped like toasters with lumber on the sides.
