Literally means "Do it yourself, Mother."
Used both ironically and unironically by teenagers to denote disapproval to an assigned task given to them by a maternal figure, while also redirecting this mission to the asker as they cannot be arsed at that moment in time to do such a deed.
As is common with slang popular among younger generations, some teachers will try to appeal to the "youngsters" by picking up on this versatile phrase and use it in class as well, often to their dismay.
The interjection 'Mom!' may also be changed to any title (often shortened to one syllable) showing a relationship to the speaker such as Dad, Sis, Bro, Cuz, Dude, Girl, Boss, Boi, etc.

Mother: My feet are killing me. Could you be a doll and massage them for me?
Teen: OMG! DIY, Mom!
'Cool' Teacher: My mom asked me to go over to her house because she was feeling lonely this week, but I just told her, "DIY, Mom!" Ugh, mothers, am I right?
Class: You're such an asshole.

Get the Manus's Mommug. In lacrosse when a shot hits the side of the net and doesn’t go in. All the mom’s scream because they saw the net move but it was not a goal.

Get the mom goalmug. The maternal equivalent of “girl math.” When mentally stressed, resourceful, or street-smart mothers share tips on digital platforms like TikTok and Instagram how they plan their hectic schedules around their children’s sleeping or waking hours, or how they stretch their money to meet their little ones’ needs and wants, without experiencing a mental meltdown.
Mom math is applying home calculus to the family life, by maximizing love, joy, and peace (or minimizing fear, pain, and stress) for family members from limited time or resources.

Get the Mom Mathmug. A person, usually a woman, who reads something factual and then tells other people about it in a condescending, or haughty, manner, pretending as if it was common knowledge. The phenomenon can be readily overheard zoos, where there are lots of moms, and lots of factual information.
Person 1: Wow, it's amazing how these wolves don't get cold on the snowy ground.
Zoo mom: They stay warm because they have a special system of veins and arteries in their legs that recirculates their body heat, instead of losing it to the ground.
Person 1: Oh, yes, I see that that is exact what that sign you just read says.
