Does anyone who aged out of middle school care about that insult?

I have an ok relationship with my parents. Never been offended about these ”insults”.

I always responded with “You fucked MY mom? What is wrong with you she is fucking disgusting.” That would take their power away and put the onus of embarrassment on them. Worked pretty well. It’s hard to joke about someone’s mom or anything for that matter if the person you are trying to make fun of takes it in stride and turns it around on you.

I’m with everyone else, does ANYONE really care about those?

You’re going to get your dad to beat up my dad? For real? Ok, hang on, lemme find a pen ans give you my address. He’ll be mowing the lawn on Sunday afternoon, I’ll see you there! This is going to be great!

(This is a poorly paraphrased rendition of a Bill Hicks sketch, it’s stuck with me since I fist saw it as a kid tho as my parents were also assholes. My dad was built tho and would probably have killed anyone elses dad who was stupid enough to try anything, but the sketch made me laugh, so that’s something.)

Insults like that can be replaced with the words “I am trying to upset you” in the same way any line delivered by Brian Blessed can be replaced with the words “Did someone order a LARGE HAM?” so… no, not really.

I had a good relationship with my parents.

When someone threw a fat mom joke at me, I didn’t care, unless it was a good one and landed hard, in which case I congratulated them on a great quip and applauded it.

No, we don’t. My response to that would be something like, “damn, that’s why she sounded so disappointed. We hadn’t spoken in a few weeks, so I know it wasn’t me this time… it sounded like she got some bad dick, thanks for providing context I suppose.”

Or if it were in passing/in person, maybe something more short and to the point like “she told me, said it wasn’t the worst she had, nor the smallest, but definitely the saddest.”

Or maybe just “I’m sorry, you should go get tested.”

Wouldn’t bother me in the least.

I don’t have a “bad” relationship with my mother, but a joke like that is hardly worth considering. Might as well have some fun with it.

Why would anyone care? Huh?

I don’t give a shit about such insults.
They just show I’m facing another moron, which I can beat intellectually with hardly any effort.
How about a reply along the lines of, OK I’m sure she enjoyed that, how was it for you to fuck a 60 year old woman?
Or alternatively: Oh were you the impotent one she mentioned? It’s easy to throw back an insult twice as bad.

I was once in a bar in the winter where some local was trying to be harass me because we had signed up for the billiard table.
I was wearing a IMO very cool scarf, and the local walked up to me, feeling my scarf and asking if my mom had made that for me.
And I responded (truthfully) that no, it was not my mom but my sister who had made it.
He had no idea how to respond to that, because I had at once told him that no, I am not a mothers baby, but I do have a nice family. So yes indeed I probably did come from a better family than him.

He was at a complete loss for words, and simply walked away, because he had no response to that.

Insults about family are moronic, some random stranger don’t know your family anyway, so it’s 100% made up and not worth getting offended over. On the other hand it shows an infantile mentality that can be easily manipulated if you keep your cool.

It’s so easy to throw such shit back at them doubly, and they tend to get confused, because they know they were beat with next to no effort.

Yeah but why the fuck say that

Friends mom is a POS, it doesn’t seem to bother him, he hates her too. But I’m sure he’d much rather have a healthy relationship with her if it was possible, that part probably hurts some what.
