I say it sometimes. Always makes me laugh somehow.

Uecil July 9th, 2010 3:54 AM

That saying is so old... I bet even my parents used that phrase when they were my age. I have heard that phrase being used so many times it annoys me, I've used it once.
I just don't get what's so funny about saying 'your mum' to people either. >B|
I remember someone using it on me before.
Me: Hi, do you know what lesson we have next?
Person: Your Mum.
Me: WTF?! *turns away*


Captain Fabio July 9th, 2010 5:21 AM

I say it when I am too lazy to come up with an actual reply or if they are completely stupid! XD

Mum jokes are amazing to a point.

Jolene July 9th, 2010 5:27 AM

Hmm no I have never said it.

I never understood it — why would someone want to screw my mother (the most common way this is played)? That just makes them laughable for having a thing for older (wo)men; no offence to anyone with such preferences but it's like homosexuality — something your average hip teenager finds undesirable even in our current age of tolerance, so why they often imply they are a sexual deviant seems... odd.

Oh, necrophillia, even more self-demeaning.

Because older women are generally more hot than most teenage girls. I know 99% of this forum would prefer a loli or whatevs to their best friends mum, but not me.

Now, no. What if someone's mom died? Yeah, thats a problem. Besides, I think it's pretty lame anyway. .___.

Do you know what else is lame? Your mum...


...


Just joking. xD Yeah, its overused a lot where I live, along with "thats what she said"... Sometimes, it can be really funny and can make me laugh. :) But other times, it just isn't funny... :\ And incredibly unneccesary. :\

Blue Nocturne July 9th, 2010 1:13 PM

I never use it. It's tired and means nothing quite frankly. If I'm going to insult someone, I would insult THEM, and do it using more than with a mere similie or bad joke. Don't get me wrong, some your mum jokes are fantastic, but why direct it to the mum? Just go straight to the dude your insulting, what does the mum have to do with it?

Everlark July 10th, 2010 12:57 AM

I still use it, but I'm trying to cute back on it. I've run into too many situations where I say it to someone who doesn't have a mom anymore. And that makes me feel bad.

Dawn July 10th, 2010 1:19 AM

I personally think yo mama is pretty funny.

But looks aren't everyth-*YELLOW IS BRICKED*

wobbadude1 July 10th, 2010 11:07 AM

My friends and myself do use it in an ironic way. It is funny cos it's only two words and it can be interpreted as an insult. There are also friendly insults "So...how's your Mum"?

Blaze The Hedgehog July 10th, 2010 11:14 AM

Your momma is so hairy, the only language she can speak is wookie.

See what I did there?

Possibly the worst fad ever.

Shake July 10th, 2010 12:42 PM

"What are you doing?"

"Your Mom!"
~classic

twocows July 10th, 2010 1:01 PM

I might use it if it fits perfectly or if the timing's perfect (like, if someone's expecting a really serious answer). Otherwise, not really.

OokamiShipper July 11th, 2010 9:36 AM

It's not funny for me...not particularly, it's just overused.
So are the "that's what she said" jokes.

Maverick Hunter Zero July 11th, 2010 4:22 PM

My friends and I had perfected the "Your mom" down to an art. Usually, when someone would answer with "your mom", it would begin a really long chain of mother jokes until one of us just couldn't take it anymore and were either laughing too hard or were too grossed out.

I personally use "Why it's your mother Steve! GET THE AXE!!!" instead of just plain old "your mom" now a days.

ReyRey-Pyon July 12th, 2010 2:37 PM

I couldn't care less when people say "Your Mom"

but it irritates me when people say "That's what she said."
because I know she's a good girl and would never say such things D:

Aquerex July 12th, 2010 5:59 PM

I HATE THAT. People say that when it has nothing to do with the conversation and put it in places where it makes no sense.

"What time is it?"
"YOUR MOM!"
"O_o' Seriously, what time is it?"
"YOUR MOM!"
"Great. Now what's the time?"
"YOUR MOM!"

Melody July 12th, 2010 7:12 PM

Is it just me, or is this phrase so damn overused that even when my best friend uses it, I just wanna punch them in the face on the spot. It's so damn annoying, weak, immature and stupid. Geez, it just peeves me off.

Sheesh, if you can't come up with something witty to say, then shut the hell up and admit you lost

Jeremy July 13th, 2010 6:48 PM

Well sweeties, were I come from "thems fight'n werds!" Seriously, in High School a lot of fights broke out because somebody scream "yo mama" as a retort. I would be lying if I said I never punch a guy in a face for saying "your mom" to me as a joke. Long story, short, my friends and I take it personally. XD

Amaruuk July 13th, 2010 7:24 PM

Personally I hate both those phrases. They're irritating, overused, and not clever or funny at all. Makes people sound like immature little pricks if you ask me. Luckily I don't hear either of them as much as I'm long past high school and I never watch crappy comedy movies that glorify that witless, tasteless 'humor'.

Also, insulting people is a waste of words.

Gymnotide July 13th, 2010 7:34 PM

This thread? Yer mum.

Really, don't tempt me :( The first thing I thought to write here without even reading the ITT was to shout YER MUM before you even said anything. Then I realized it wasn't real life.

sonic smash down July 13th, 2010 8:32 PM

the classic "ur mom" joke huh?

its not really used much as an insult rather then just to mess with your friend kind of thing where i am, and usually everyone laughs it off including the person its directed to....that or it starts a (your mom is so....) battle. Anyways its not really used as much as "thats what she said", which i can't get my friend to stop sayin...my question is:
Who is she, and why does she keep saying such things? XD
Yea i use it sometimes but they do getting really annoying if they get over-used (once or twice is fine, but 4 times thats enough dude, get yourself a new joke book)

wobbadude1 July 14th, 2010 2:48 AM

Did you know the very first "Your Mum" joke came from Shakespear:

Act 1 Scene 1 of Timon of Athens
Painter: "Y'are a dog."
Apemantus: "Thy mother's of my generation. What's she, if I be a dog?"

Scene 2 of Titus Adronicus
Demetrius: "Villain, what hast thou done?"
Aaron: "That which thou canst not undo."
Chiron: "Thou hast undone our mother."
Aaron: "Villain, I have done thy mother."

Proving "Your Mum" jokes are NOT a recent thing and can be quite witty. Shakespear is one of the most famous writers of all time!!

lol Shakespeare has provided lots of things that are still used today. Even my name(my real name) was first seen in a Shakespeare play.
Shakespeare ftw! ;3

Anyways I'm getting off topic... My school majorly overuses "your mom", "your face", and "that's what she said". I get really annoyed when people randomly throw them out there. I probably couldn't go a day without getting either at least eight times, most of the time it's not even used in funny situations. Ocassionally someone will use it at the perfect time and it'll be funny enough to put tears in your eyes but other then those moments I'm kinda fed up with hearing them.

BareBones July 15th, 2010 8:27 AM

I just use it as a joke, and very rarely infront of other people. I use it when I'm bored and I really can't think of a witty response.

"Where did you get that sword?"
"Your mother"
"What?"
"You heard me"

Or

"Who wants to come to VoA then?"
"Your mother, I heard she wants to go"
"F4. Just F4 right now"
"I F4'd your mom last night"

And yes, they were WoW referances.
Yeah, your mom jokes are very overused, but as I said, I don't use them in real life, I mostly use them over the internet for cheap laughs.
