WAGs - Wives And Girlfriends
WAGs
British tabloid press invented this demeaning term to collectively refer to the wives and girlfriends of the English star footballers at around the 2002 World Cup in Korea/Japan and then it became an acceptable expression eventually and is no longer specific to English Wags. It has been adapted by other nations and other sports too but the football component is much bigger and high profile in nature
A single wife or girlfriend is called as a Wag, derived as a singular form of Wags, and the profile and lifestyle of that particular Wag, combined with the stardom of the footballer, would escalate her position in Wag circles an media. Victoria "Posh" Beckham, for instance, is termed as "Queen of Wags" owing to her successful pop career in girl band Spicegirls and later as a solo artist. She's often credited for being the inspiration and a factor of success and widespread fame for the word
