Defining ‘Mom Jeans’ Differently

On his Slice blog, Paul Turner contends that residents of Spokane have a different definition of "mom jeans" than residents of North Idaho. Paul posts: "Maybe I'm wrong. That's happened.But years of hearing people on both sides of the state line use the expression has left me with the opinion that Spokane residents have a different definition of “mom jeans” than people in North Idaho.I'll be happy to pinpoint the difference. But first I want to see if anyone else has noticed this."

Question: What's your definition of "mom jeans"?
