Yo Mama

One of the most overused insults in America today, Yo Mama.
Of course, taken lightly, this joke surrounds everyday culture, especially at the typical highschool.
Someone shoots you an sarcastic insult, and you find yourself to dumb to come up with a clever comeback, you say "Yo mama."
Now 'Yo Mama' has to be said with the correct tone, and at the appropriate time.
For instance:
Girl 1- "That shirt is ugly."
Girl 2- "LIke yo mama."
Notice how you never actually say the whole world, yo, is the word that must be used. If found actually saying the full word, you will be mocked, and the insult would have just stuck to you.
Now, noone takes anyone seriously when they say a 'yo mama' joke, which is why you can say it to just about anyone.
(Except for yo mama)
Now for my own personal anecdote invovling this interesting phrase.
Sitting in chemistry one day, after lunch, we were working in groups. Bubbly as ever, I blurted out. "I'm so hyper!" My friend James loooked at me and shook his head and smiled "Thats apparent."
Now what I said next might have been the greatest three seconds of my life.
"Your mom is apparent."
Now for you dumb, slow, and ignorant people I want you to read what I just wrote outloud.
I'll even break it down for you.
Your-mom-is-a-pparent
Ok, hopefully you got it now. Isn't that just amazing?
Quickly, the class applauded and my teacher made his own sly comment.
"Your face"
Seriously? Your face. It is quickly growing to take place of "Yo mama" Which deeply saddens me.
Substance, that is what it lacks. Substance.
Your face, anyone can see it, well unless they are blind(oops)
But if they are not in fact blind, and they can fully see the person in front of them, why in the world would you say "Your face"
Its different with 'yo mama', because most of the time you have never met the persons mother so it in no way can be taken personal.
But with 'your face', it is talking about right then.
Of course, not many people are offended by this either, but if I had to choose between the two cliche phrases.
I would stick to the classics.
Think about all of the good, and old stuff. LIke Tom Petty, My Dad, Elvis, JOhnny Cash, The old Coca-Cola bottles, and of course Jimi Hendrix.
Classics.
I am proud to say that I am siding with your mother.
What about you?
