The crack about "ya mama" was also in jest. Here in the wilds of urban America, we have a game called "the Dozens" that fellows often play with their pals in an effort to 'one-up' one other with jocular yet somewhat off-colour remarks about the other fellow's mother. If you wish to investigate this shopworn, yet engaging pastime, I encourage you to pay a visit to any local saloon or barbeque restaurant in an African-American neighbourhood near you. This is where most 'Dozens' matches occur. To start up a game, simply enter the establishment and shout: "Lemme tell ya somethin' about ya mama!"
Let me know how it goes.
Love,
