"Joe Six-Pack" and "Hockey Mom" are still insulting.

  Ms. Palin accepted the term "Hockey Mom" for herself in the speech at the 
Republican circus in the Twin Cities, with this famous phrase which went like 
"you know what the difference is between a hockey mom and a pitbull? 
Lipstick!" So she also wanted her to be seen as a pitbull. 

  BTW, this term "hockey mom" is completely unfamiliar with me. Would the 
Usanians on this list help to understand it?
