"Mean as a mama wasp" = bần tiện như mẹ WASP (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Mom), người mẹ theo đạo Tin lành Anglo-Saxon da trắng -> nghĩa là bà mẹ da trắng, giàu có; (cơ bản) là một con "chó cái".
Ví dụ
“As we say in Louisiana, you’re as mean as a mama wasp.” — U.S. Sen. John Kennedy, to Attorney General nominee Bill Barr, on CNN. “They love to go where movies were shot and people were shot.” — Lt. Gov. Billy Nungesser, on film tourism, at the Baton Rouge Press Club.
‘YOU WERE MEAN AS A MAMA WASP OUT THERE’. Later — and this wasn’t a dream — Carol fell into a booby trap in the gymnasium and wound up hanging upside down as at least one Whisperer and a bunch of walkers approached. She managed to cut herself down but was left with a shard of glass sticking out of her arm. So her pals rushed her to Siddiq for treatment.
