‘Your Mum…’

We’ve(we being the general British population, but I’m sure most Americans have heard they’re, ‘Mom’ counterparts too) all heard insults directed at you, but yet involve your Mum. For the minority’s sake, an example would be, ‘Your Mum sucks’(one of the less explicit ones, so-to-speak).

Well, personally, I think the whole, ‘Your Mum’ insult thing is rather vain, and taken way too seriously for what it is.

For one, most of the time, the person(X) hasn’t even seen the person they’re trying to insult(Y)’s Mum(Z), so, why they’d be offended initially by calling Z ugly is confusing, and rather dramatic in my personal opinion…

Secondly, from my experience, it’s mainly adolescents who say such things anyway, and from my experience, adolescents generally insult their parents regularly anyway, so why someone should take offense to that, I don’t know. Thus, being a hypocrite in doing so. Not that I dis-respect my Mum or anything(I still wouldn’t take any offense if anyone other than a relative said such a thing).

And my final reason is, if they’re trying to insult you, why would your biological Mum have any regard in doing so? I mean, I know it’s probably related to respecting your parents, but it’s not like that person has the justification to make any remarks about Y’s Mum anyway…

So, sorry if this post hasn’t been conducted amazingly, but I was typing this while listening to music, which generally weakens my ability to focus, and in the end of the day, I just wanted to get out the point that I find the whole insult vain. Also, I’ll be referring the URL to this blog post to anyone who uses the insult on me.

Emor.

P.S Just so I don’t sound like a total hypocrite, me and my friend Beth had a whole IM(Instant Message[using the MSN protocol for all of those interested])conversation using those insults, as a joke, and for comedy purposes strictly, neither me or presumably Beth(taking into account all the LOL’s[laugh out loud's] she sent) took offense to them.

I’d also like to add that in my opinion the British really do deteriorate the humor aspect in the insult, the Americans do it far better…
