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.

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.

A woman who has had the awesome pleasure of having a child, but who is quite livid with the circumstances surrounding her life. Circumstances include but are not limited to: dead beat dad's, non supportive family and/or friends, no job, job that doesn't pay enough, lack of help raising said child, etc. These circumstances cause the mother to become extremely irritated which causes a need for the mother to rant constantly.
Wow, her ex husband is a bum that won't help take care of their child and runs off with another girl. No wonder she is a Mad Mom!
