        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.

        From context I’m guessing it is a single mother who lives off social security and doesn’t go to work.

        I have heard the pejorative ‘Welfare Queen’ used to describe this.

        There will always be people that abuse benefits. There are also many people who cannot go to work and are doing their best to hold things together.
