In this context, pyjama mamas are those ladies who go out of the house wearing their pyjamas but with an overcoat on to hide what they are wearing. They don't seem to realise that by their very nature, the colorful legs of pyjamas can be spotted a mile off, and they are fooling no-one.
To a certain extent I can understand the attraction of going out early in the day with pyjamas on - just brush your teeth and hair, slip on a pair of outdoors shoes and a coat and you are sorted!
For busy mothers with pre-schoolers and babies, no doubt this is a major time-saver - though not something I ever thought of doping myself. What is a couple of minutes extra to slip some proper clothes on?
But now in the UK we are seeing shopping centres where those mothers hang around all day, at the cafes or window-shopping, while still in a state of undress.
Some go so far as to suggest that they are just lazy, and lacking in self-respect.
I don't know, is that the case?
The young lady interviewed in this clip confesses "When you nip out to the shops, you wear your best pyjamas".
Now you know.
