You need to sharpen your wit and zing him back, along the lines of, “Gee, it must suck that all the young hotties won’t have you, and you have to settle for middle-aged women with a couple of kids.” ---

😃 This thread rules. Anyway, a friend of mine said that if someone says something about your mother, you should say: “Oh yeah, well so does _my_ mom!” Then they won’t bug you anymore. But when you say “don’t talk about my mother!”, they’ll do it all the time. ---

I believe the proper response to “Your mom sucks for money” is “Yeah, and the price has doubled since I kicked all her teeth out, so bring your wallet next time.” ---

Yeah, and tell her to stop calling me when she gets drunk. I’m getting sick of it. All hours of the morning. “You’re the only one that can statisfy me!” blah, blah, blah. ---

If you really want to screw with him when he says “I fucked your mom last night.” just say “No you didn’t, I fucked her long and hard all night long.” I am not sure what the response will be but I am sure that you will let us know. ---

So he said something to annoy you. You tell him to stop because it annoys you. Now you find that he keeps saying it? I agree, that’s pretty incomprehensible. You’d expect him to just meekly stop the insults wouldn’t you? ---

I think you should savagely beat on him until he’s unconscious, then continue to pummel him. When you think he’s had enough, continue beating him for another 10 minutes or so. I mean, he _did_ insult your mom. Or tell him that Eminem is a pussy. That’d really get him. He’d probably cry. ---

Where there’s smoke, there’s fire I say. People just don’t _say_ crap like this without a reason. I think you should go and ask your momma if she _is_ a skanky, cock suckin’ piece of gutter crawlin’ trash. There might be whole aspect of her life that you don’t know about and knowing about it may bring you closer together. I’ll concede this young rascal may be mistaken or even lying about your filthy harlot mother but if he is, you need to set that young man straight and on the double! Let him know, in the calmest fashion you can muster, that you find it hurtful that he would talk about your mum like this and that he really should stop. Offer to be his best friend or anything else that might work but the important thing is that it stops right NOW! Forget the smartarses here who suggest agreeing with him and claiming you’ve had her too. This will merely compound the offence to her and the attack on your dignity. Good luck and give her a kiss from me. ---

I had some asshole tell me a month ago that he fucked my mother the night before. I said that was some stunt, because she’s 700 miles away and has been 6 feet under for 4 years now. “Fuck you, man!” “First it’s the necro, and now you swing that way, too. You really are some kind of pervert.” What a dickhead. ---

Your (or more appropriately “you’re”) friend is way out of line. It’s totally innacurate to imply that she _solely_ sucks for money. While this may be the case, it’s not the whole story - I know from experience that she’ll do it for crack, smokes, or cans of dogfood.
