    Mind = Blown (AKA society is dumb)

    So I've been sitting here thinking. You know how "motherfucker" = insult to the receiver? But yet, when someone uses a "your mom" joke (Why don't you ask your mom where I was last night?), it is also an insult to the receiver.

    So why is it that calling someone a motherfucker insinuates that fucking mothers is bad, when your mom jokes insinuates that it is good (from the heckler's point of view)?

    What the hell, society?

    I'm pretty sure "motherfucker" implies an incestuous relationship with your own mother.

    And in the case of the latter, that their mother is of ill-morals and an unfit parent-figure, to 'explain' all sorts of shit.

    Slaves in Africa resented the fact that their owners were having sex with their mothers. :/
