Again, I'm not talking about the old school "yo momma" jokes that had a preplanned punchline. I'm talking about simple rebuttals that are more akin to a "that's what she said" type of joke. Someone says something innocuous that you turn around to mean something else.

yeah her mom is def a hoe

Yo mama jokes are not about being funny but how you deliver it it's more a burn than joke if the delivery is bad then it's failure and fyi MTV's yo momma came out in 06 so not sure what you mean by 97

You two respect each other. As it should be.

Thank you for doing that. I hope you two have a long relationship together!

don't try to give reasons for why you did it (i.e. people on tiktok do it as well), you're not looking for her to understand your point of view. you have to make it clear to her that you have thought about het point of view and about how it might have come across, and apologize. you don't want/need her to understand what you did, you already did it. at this point it's mostly about your ability to empathize and coming to terms with the fact you did something wrong.

It's adorable that you think "your mum's a hoe" is gen Z slang.

As someone who lost their mum in high school, that just makes you immune to your mum jokes. It's great to fire back with "my mum's dead" and watch whoever said it yet super uncomfortable.

I’d send her a few classic memes like the teacher saying “who ever threw that, your moms a hoe” etc.. show her the reference so she understands your side. Then leave it at that. What else can you do.

That's a bit old school. There's a newer version of your mom jokes where you flip someone's words around to make it about their mom. And when I say "newer", I mean like 1997.

Both wrong all yo mama jokes must start with "yo" mama not "your" mama saying your mama is a fail in any condition also can be yo moms is add insult here not your moms is such and such

>It took me a long time to learn to say sorry when I didn't feel it was my fault.

that is what we call empathy, being able to look at something from someone else's point of view.

yes, like he said

No she needs to apologize for fumbling a good yo mama joke and in the future will watch MTV's yo mama

My sister and I say wild shit like that all the time. One of our favorite is "Your mother is a cankerous whore". Some people are fine with jokes like that, others are more sensitive. You just have to read the room.

Whoever threw that paper…

Terrible just awful worst yo mama joke I've ever read maybe that's why your friend is mad because you're terrible at telling yo mama jokes you know it's bad when you say your mama and not yo mama see you already butchered it before the punchline

It’s hilarious that he says he wants to give her the space she needs but it’s pretty inconvenient for him. You are the one who hurt their feelings and now you are inconvenienced😛

Whoever threw that piece of paper, your moms a hoe

If anything, say something along the lines of, "I was trying to be funny and not hurtful, and failed at both. I'm sorry I hurt you." You can explain your motivations without making excuses. I think having a mutual understanding of a given situation is important for both apologies and forgiveness.

>So here’s the thing about jokes. It’s 100% the responsibility of the joke teller to ensure that it’s funny to every joke hearer.

Fuck that. That's the dumbest shit I ever heard, and completely impossible to accomplish--that is unless it's an audience of one, which is the case here.

It depends on the context. If the friend had just said something to the effect of, "My garden is full of weeds. Remind me that I need to stop at Lowe's to buy a hoe," then the "Your moms a hoe," would fit. Without any relevant context, however, it's just weird and uncalled for.
