Where it comes from
Blend of mom + zombie.
noun mombies
- A mother who is consumed by raising her children to the point of being sleep-deprived or simply obsessed, and hence zombie-like. A mombie is a woman who "changes" after having a baby. She's been brainwashed by motherhood, […]. She loves nothing more than joining an army of other mombies, so don't be surprised if your old friend-turned-mombie begins to spend her time primarily with other mombies who are all covered in some kin
- A zombie (i.e. undead) mother. There was a blood smear across her mouth, skewed like lipstick applied by a drunken hand. Mom was a fucking zombie. “Mombie,” he said, giggling stupidly, deliriously.
