Definitions by deadlytran

An acronym for Married Without Kids.

Unlike DINK (Double Income, No Kids) or SINK (Single Income, No Kids), MWOK is a purely demographic term that ignores a couple's financial status, focusing instead on the partnership itself. It is intended as a neutral alternative to "childless" (which implies a void or loss) and "childfree" (which implies a political or lifestyle choice). A MWOK is simply a married person whose family unit consists of two adults.

Often pronounced like the Star Wars "Ewok."
"I love our friend group because it’s a great mix of parents and MWOKs. We get the best of both worlds at the backyard BBQ!"
