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?

Reminds me of Reeves and Mortimer "That's you that is."

We agree.
Yes, both of us, aaah. (And that was just the teachers)

See that shoe in the gutter?
Than single white stiletto with the broken heel?
Thats your best shoe, that is.
Thats your best show that you wear when you go out.

I love you Titsallinabumsquash - my mum has died too and I was proffering this hopefully as a reason not to do the washing-up 4 hours post-event..... DH rolled his eyes at me but did it anyway, bless him.

I love your mum jokes, and no one can ever do it back to me now for fear of being the cunty person who went there. Result Grin

Knobbly Yes!! Grin

Tits my DHs parents are both dead, his mum died last year, and often uses 'but I'm an orphan' to get out of doing things.

DS(6) overheard a conversation between SIL and I last week when we thought he couldn't hear. He then came out with, "who's a slag?" after what he had heard. My reply? "Your mum." BlushGrin

"Ok the humour in this has clearly passed me by... even after reading the explanation confused"

Me too. I thought it was a serious insult towards the person's mother.

MrsKoala · 09/01/2016 14:13

Where i live saying 'your Mum' just means 'fuck your mum'. It meant that when i grew up too. (80s) Is that not the case universally?

The best insult i have ever heard was when 2 of my friends were having a drunken argument on the train and one said to the other with a sigh 'everyone is right, you are a prick'. i still laugh now.

I recently completed a gardening course, there was me and 9 men, the tutor said if it git a bit lary to let him know, at the first break one of the chaps mentioned where he was from another said he had been to a sex party there, I said "why were you picking up your mum?" all their faces dropped in shock then burst into laughter, it definitely broke the ice and we just got on with the course without anyone faffing about what they could or couldn't say.

LollyBF · 09/01/2016 14:40

My other half and I have always used 'Your mum' when we're having silly banter. But I had a massive row with the mother in law this Christmas and apparently it's not funny anymore...I disagree Shock

HotterWok · 09/01/2016 16:52

This thread is so funny...

YABU

So's your face

knobbly and thehouse it's Newman and baddiel, Frank skinner came waaaaaay afterwards ;)

littleleftie · 09/01/2016 21:58

My teen DC and I use this all the time, but in it's simplest "Your Mum" form - no extension of the two word insult. It seems to apply to anything.

Me: "DS can you please tidy your room?
DS: "Your mum."

Bogeyface · 10/01/2016 00:17

totally OT but I met Rob Newman last year and he is still fucking GORGEOUS!

As you were.

Lurleene · 10/01/2016 01:04

Bogeyface - I met David Baddiel last year at a book festival. I was with my DD (she's 19) and I was bit nervous and babbling. I said to him ' I've told her all about you, and I'm going to put her through the Mary Whitehouse Experience when we get home' as though it would be a torture. He was very polite but I felt like a complete dick, which wasn't helped by the fact we kept bumping into him and his family every 5 minutes as though we were stalking them.

Bogeyface · 10/01/2016 01:41

I was quite lucky really in comparison then! He did a gig in my town and was signing books afterwards, his pen ran out as he was doing my friends book (who was talking about finding out where he was staying and stalking him there.... Confused ) so I lent him mine. We did a photo and he was very sweet but I was talkative to the point where I am sure he thought I was a loon!

Is Morwenna Banks as beautiful as she looks on t'internet? She seems one of those "scruffy but stunning" type women who could wear an old bin bag and still look amazing.

Lurleene · 10/01/2016 17:16

Yes Morwenna looked fab, very casual but she carried it off!

Xmasbaby11 · 10/01/2016 20:47

I've never heard that in real life! I can't see the joke.
