关注体育、特别是欧洲各大足球职业联赛的童鞋可能经常都会遭遇一个字"WAG"，或者"WAGS"。《揭秘Wags浮华下的落寞……》、《WAGs之战……》、《WAGS系列写真……》等等，那么这个奇怪的缩写到底是啥意思呢？且看全球互动百科wikipedia对其的解释：
WAGs (or Wags) is an acronym used particularly by the British tabloid press to describe the wives and girlfriends of high-profile football players, originally the England national football team. The term came into common use during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, although it had been used occasionally before that.
WAGs（或者Wags）是英国小报对职业足球运动员的老婆或女友的缩写，最初专指英国球员的家属。该词汇首次被大量运用是在2006年的世界杯上，不过也有人称在之前也有少量运用。
原来，WAG就是wives and girlfriends的首字母缩写，用中文简单讲也就是“太太团”。这个缩写首次出现是在06年的德国世界杯上。当时英国球员的太太军团随球队齐齐驻扎德国小镇巴登巴登。要知道这群花枝招展的主儿平日里可都是“非艺即模”——不是艺人就是模特，哪里耐得住小镇的寂寞。于是老公训练，她们就邀约逛街、血拼、喝咖啡，还随即招来了大批记者跟拍，把人家原住民吵的是翻天覆地、不得安宁。WAG也因此带上了浓浓的贬义。
而著名的WAG都有哪些呢？
Prominent WAGs of that year included Victoria Beckham, wife of former England captain David Beckham, whom the New Yorker described as "Queen of the Wags" and the Sunday Times as "the original Wag";
当年最抢眼的WAG非贝嫂维多利亚莫属，纽约客称她为“WAG女王”，周末时代也叫她“原创WAG”。
Cheryl Cole,of the group Girls Aloud, who married Ashley Cole in July 2006;
Cheryl Cole，呛女生合唱团成员之一，06年7月嫁给Ashley Cole；
Coleen Rooney, who married Wayne Rooney in June 2008 and who was variously described as a "chavette", dubbed by the tabloid newspaper The Sun a "super WAG" and, by the end of the year, listed by the Times as a "national treasure";
Coleen Rooney，鲁尼的老婆，08年6月结婚。太阳日报称她是“超级WAG”，俗女一枚。在那年年底的时候被泰晤士报列为“国家宝藏”……；
Another WAG got considerable interest due to her relative youth - she was A-level student Melanie Slade, the girlfriend of Theo Walcott, who, at seventeen, was himself the youngest member of the England squad.
那年还有一个WAG因为年纪太小而广受关注。她是Theo Walcott的女友，只有17岁，是一名高三学生。她男友本人也是当年也是英格兰队最小的成员。
