Subject: Re: Your Momma -- Sexual Connotation?



"Your mama" is definitely not just a Calif. thing. I've heard it all my

life in Phila. I don't know if it's really supposed to be sexual. It

seems to work simply as an all-around insult. Sometimes it's just a

game and is really not an insult at all.
