thread_title:  General Content 

message: There has been some sort of wiki war regarding the examples. The current one is
"Person 1: I'm going to the shop
Person 2: Oh Yeah? Your Mom is going to the shop!"
There are basicly three usagesv(they overlap) I have seen so far (and many people, esp here in Montreal, have actually never heard of these, so there might be a point adding this to the wiki):
- one where person one says that p1 or p2 does or is something, and the 'retort' is that 'your mom' is or does the same thing
- one where p1 says something and p2 does not know what to retort, or does not actually intend to retort something that makes any sense. i.e.
"Person 1: Your dumb!
Person 2: Well.. Your Mom!"
- the third usage is usually in a somewhat ambiguous statement involving sexual allusions. i.e.
"Person 1: What are you doing?
Person 2: Your Mom!"
I agree that this might be silly and insulting, but its nevertheless part of north american youth culture; and since not everybody knows about it, maybe some examples would help...
Anton
:Agreed. I wouldn't be opposed to putting those three examples in, complete with more encyclopedic versions of the explanations you posted. I don't like the "going to the shop" example because it doesn't really make any sense as an insult, despite the article claiming "Your mom" is an insult. At the very least I think the one present example should be changed, possibly to "What are you doing?" as per your comment. Angrycrustacean 06:59, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Bit the bullet and added in refined versions of the examples Anton suggested, as well as removed the Napoleon Dynamite reference which I don't think had a place in the article now that we have more generic examples. Hopefully an expanded list won't encourage people to add more, but I feel the article is much more thorough now. Angrycrustacean 00:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Survey - in support of the move

message: #Oppose I think the new title is preferable because it doen't narrow the focus to one singular "insult". There is actually a long history of using one's mother as tool for verbal assult (as the Shakespeare quotes allude to). Even with the good ole fashion "Your mom", there are several variants that are listed. in fact, i could contend that the title "Your mom" is slightly POV in that it favors the suburban white frat boy style of the joke versus the more urban "yo momma". 205.157.110.11 20:25, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Yes, sexism is somewhat subjective (although many of these jokes seem egregious to me). The article currently has a sexist bias which requires some balance.  I propose a new section titled "Criticism" or "Potentially Offensive" which would be something like this.  Rlsheehan, June 16, 2007
:Some of this humor has the potential to offend some people
:* Some consider sexually degrading humor to be sexist
:* Some believe that mothers should be honored.  This might be based on the ten commandments of the Bible, similar sections of the Qur'an, or broader aspects of filial piety.
* I don't see the sexist bias you're talking about, you'd need a citation that the jokes are sexually degrading, and  the statement "Some consider sexually degrading humor to be sexist" is sort of a useless tautology. —dgiestc 17:04, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Many people know the joke that is "your mom". It is very offensive to some people while to others, it can be very funny. Your mom can also be a good way to start a friend ship, or bad.

message: I'm not able to verify that headline.  The earliest reference I can find is from the book Andrew Jackson (1966, by Robert V. Remini who seems respectable; a preview of a newer edition of this book is what is currently cited in the article), and then several other books from 1968 that say similar things (but aren't fully consistent with each other).  I couldn't find any contemporary sources searching either "General Jackson's Mother" or "was a common prostitute".  Perhaps the relevant newspaper just isn't digitized on archive.org, but none of the books I found cite a specific date either, so I can't verify it that way...  I also couldn't find a newspaper with the exact name "Cincinnati Gazette", though it looks like there is a The Daily Cincinnati Gazette in 1828 (which archives seem to be calling Cincinnati Daily Gazette, which LOC says was a later name).

replies: text: Thank you User:Pokechu22. Should it be removed from the article then? DesertPipeline (talk) 06:31, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure.  I think there's a chance it was an actual headline, and the source does seem reputable.  Someone who knows more about history might be able to find it in a database/library I don't know about/don't have access to.  So I don't think it's worth removing just yet.  --Pokechu22 (talk) 06:42, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: What made me tag it was the three exclamation marksthat seems very strange to me. Then again, even nowadays there are examples of strange and unprofessional newspaper headlines, so perhaps it is real. Thank you again for your help anyway!

message: The French graffiti pictured is actually a pun (or a spelling mistake) and reads "go fuck your mayor", not "go fuck your mother". Is it worth editing the caption to point this out? Jean-de-Nivelle (talk) 14:19, 7 November 2022 (UTC)

message: :The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: not moved. Consensus is that the proposed title is not WP:NATURAL and is likely not the WP:COMMONNAME. (closed by non-admin page mover) The Night Watch (talk) 19:35, 17 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: "Yo mama" joke →  – No evidence that this is the WP:COMMONNAME. Furthermore, even if it was, surely "mum", "mom" or "mother" would be more common than "mama". It could also be "ur" or "your", rather than "yo". Even so, "Yo mama" jokes are only one part of it; for example, Shakespeare's wordplay is certainly not a simple "yo mama" joke. This page was moved without a clear consensus, done in a bold edit, and without a proper RM. I suggest we have a discussion where consensus can be properly gained.

text: 'Yo Mama' and other terms similar to it already existed as redirects to this article. Not only is the modern format included, but the historical context is included as well. 'Maternal Insult' was already a title that was far more encyclopedic and successfully encompassed the topic of the article itself. Not sure why we're having this talk; the page title was already very good. ~GoatLordServant(Talk) 19:08, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

text: I do acknowledge however that some people have expressed a view that "yo mama" refers to a narrow subset of the things the article is about. I think it's actually fairly broad per the article's sources, eg. , but let's see and get consensus. CharredShorthand.talk;</code> 01:04, 3 February 2023 (UTC)

message: Instead of going back and forth about the opening image (which arguably has WP:BLP violation written all over it six ways to Sunday - "you take Roosevelt down to Des Plaines Avenue, turn right..."), let's politely ask , as a Wikipedian, to consider creating the opening image. A request like this shouldn't be done often or even never, but in this case, given that a cartoon/commentary panel would represent the "Yo mama" joke to the English-speaking world, a WP:IAR exception seems in play because of the fun factor. If he and editors agree, we can use one that he really loves or pick from a few that he likes a lot. What do page editors think? Randy Kryn (talk) 03:14, 7 September 2023 (UTC)
