is in fact the best one liner, pout down and generally funny joke in the world, only closely followed by that's what he/she said?

Or am I a child?

But don't remember anyone's Mum.

OP,you're so right. Works every time. I've never said it but always makes me laugh used in a comedy scenario. Not over used just a surprise one here and there when I've forgotten about this as a thing.

Sparkling I wonder if it was more of a teenage boy thing, there is a sexual level to it as well as an insult and general comedy put down.

Sparkling, part of your face is missing!

Confirmation, if it were needed (which it is not!), that I am now officially an old fuck. A gimmer. A mildly confused and often bemused gimmer.

I understand hardly a word of this thread and really don't get any humour from it at all. Confused

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 19:45

Mmmm. I was bullied quite badly at High school. I am now grateful nobody ever said anything nasty about my Mum too.

SheDoneAlreadyDoneHadHerses · 07/01/2016 19:47

Ah round these parts its:

"Yer mum"

"Yer mum on toast"

"...........wounded" (concede)

We use "face" or "bum"☺️

fidel1ne · 07/01/2016 19:57

I don't need to google it Dawn I was just quoting it.

You're right, though, 'Your face' is the son of 'That's you that is'.

Y tu Mama.

Love it.

ReadyPlayerOne · 07/01/2016 20:10

Your mum, your face...yep, they get said a lot. My bestie and I have a regular back and forth thus:
That's awful.
Your face is awful.
Your mum is awful.
Your mums face is awful.

Classy, us. Grin

Ilovetorrentialrain · 07/01/2016 20:17

Mutton it's not new - in fact it's very old. I'm feeling my age now.

kelper · 07/01/2016 20:17

sparkling a quick Google has proved you right! In my head it was "that's your mum that is" I'm clearly getting old too 😂😂

minniebear · 07/01/2016 20:17

My brother and I do the your mum... and find ourselves utterly hilarious because we have the same mum :) If our shared mum heard us we'd probably both get a clip round the ear. We're both in our thirties.

KaraokeQueenOfTheNorth · 07/01/2016 20:21

See that Geoff Capes?
I'm aware of him
that's your mum, that is

Orda1 · 07/01/2016 20:23

I can't believe there are people who haven't heard of your mum/face.

I thought we were the only adults that did this

MooseAndSquirrel · 07/01/2016 20:25

Haha I do this constantly DD1 has joined me in the your mum/face throw backs she's 7, and hilarious
And a day that goes by that you havnt found a reason to claim a that's what s/he said is a wasted day!!

Ilovetorrentialrain · 07/01/2016 20:26

And ditavinteesed thanks for the link. Absolutely loved that - not seen for years. I had such a Rob Newman crush at the time too. Prob about 16 / 17 myself.

Figwin · 07/01/2016 20:30

I do wonder what a our kids will be like. DD is 1 now and I have to really hold myself back from calling DH a cockwomble in front of her. We are generation banter...

cardibach · 07/01/2016 20:32

I prefer 'as the actress said to the bishop' to 'that's what she said'. Classier. More retro.

CerseiHeartsJaime4ever · 07/01/2016 20:32

DS said to me that I was a smelly jelly.

I Instinctively replied, yeah, well your mums a smelly jelly....

DP cracked up but it took me far too long to realise Blush
