Get the Conferned mug.Ostensibly it means caring about society. Being concerned about the things that are wrong with society such as increasing violent crime, an increasingly stressed health service, the marginalisation of the disadvantaged members of society, the list is pretty much endless; those who are truly socially concerned then try to do something about it. Unfortunately as in the case of the chattering classes the socially concerned individuals only pay lip-service to whatever cause is fashionable and they do sfa.
Most so-called socially concerned just talk about the latest fashionable cause, they don’t actually do anything to help.

Often called "CAB" for short, the concerned adult brigade is any group of equally disgruntled people (usually 35 or older) united together for an absurd and often unnecessary cause. These are the people who run neighborhood watches, regularly attend PTA meetings, deem things "inappropriate", complain to authority figures, overreact on issues, chaperone parties, file noise complaints, call parents, actually check movie and game ratings, work at the FCC, and generally meddle in the affairs of the youth.
Members of the concerned adult brigade come in many forms though are recognizable by their running-for-senator hairstyles and "sensible" shoes. Almost always women.
