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?

Anyone who thinks "0they can say "that's YOU that is" to me, will be met with a Jimmy Hill salute and a "chinny reck-on" from my very old self.

Have I just crossed over into a parallel universe? I have absolutely no idea what this thread is on about!

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 20:38

Come and sit with me on the 'no idea' bench 80s.

Redglitter · 07/01/2016 20:39

Room for another on that bench??? I've read this thread several times and just can't see how it's hilarious Hmm

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 07/01/2016 20:42

I dont get the joke here

Me neither. I've never heard "your Mum" being used as a joke or a put down.

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 20:42

My Mum is out for a meal with my Father.

M48294Y · 07/01/2016 20:43

I LOVE the "your Mum" jokes when done properly.

Also, What Would Jesus Do?

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 07/01/2016 20:46

Also hilarious is the likes of
"oh, I saw your mum yesterday"
"I saw YOUR mum yesterday"

"I think this belongs to your mum"
"I think it belongs to YOUR mum"

I'm failing to see anything funny in that.

CheerfulYank · 07/01/2016 20:47

Yup, DH and I say it all the time.

A bunch of friends and I were going to a party one night. Allllll day long my male friend had been saying "your mom!" About everything. Finally one of my other friends had had enough and yelled at him to stop.

That night we were lying in bed (all of us, ah the days of crashing at parties) one of my friends was telling the other a secret of mine. I yelled at her to stop and she said "I have to tell! It's eating away at me!" There was a long pause and then a tiny voice from the male friend. "...I've been eating away at your mom!"

That was a dozen years ago and we've forgotten everything about the party and the secret, but we will remember and laugh over "I've been eating away at your mom" until the day we die. :o

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 20:49

Well it's been lovely. Thanks for having me on the thread and all that, but I really don't understand and it's not becoming clear the more posts there are.

LassWiTheDelicateAir · 07/01/2016 20:52

Don't worry Sparkling I'm not sure you are missing much.

Allllll day long my male friend had been saying "your mom!" About everything

That sounds deeply irritating.

SuburbanRhonda · 07/01/2016 20:55

Yer ma's yer da and yer da's a tree

Surely even if you don't get any of the previous references, this is hilarious?

timelytess · 07/01/2016 20:56

When I started teaching in 1993, 'Your mum' was a serious insult pupils would use against each other. It was an abbreviation of 'Your mum's a prostitute'. I always worked in inner-city schools, quite a few mums were prostitutes. One boy, on the receiving end of a 'Yer mum!' responded with 'No, that's not me mum, its me dad's girlfriend!' And apparently, it was.

Your mum's on the no idea bench.

Bwahahahaha! Good work!

CheerfulYank · 07/01/2016 21:01

It was Lass!

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 07/01/2016 21:02

baffled here too

I thought the your mum thing was just saying 'your mum' if anyone said something annoying to you

iirc that's what they do in Mexico. And if you REALLY want to offend, you say 'your grandma' I THINK

I'm v old tho. Old enough to remember 'that's your mum, that is' as if twere only yesterday

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 21:02

YY Lass I have unknowingly dodged decades of being irritated. Smile

maxxytoe · 07/01/2016 21:03

the other day , I said 'this house is a mess'
DP followed it up with
' ya mams a mess'
Well , we were howling 😂😂😂

MuddhaOfSuburbia · 07/01/2016 21:04

yeah what Tess said

I always thought it meant your mum's a slag (London also)

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 21:04

Oh no. 3 of that weird crying emoji.

maxxytoe · 07/01/2016 21:08

Sparklingbrook · 07/01/2016 21:11

None is even better.

Redglitter · 07/01/2016 21:12
