I just wanted to add my two cents to the conversation about WAG. From what I've gathered, it's short for Wife And Girlfriend, and it's often used to describe the partners of sports stars or celebrities who are seen as being involved in their personal lives. I've seen it used in online forums and social media posts, but it can sometimes come across as a bit derogatory or even sexist.
