“Yo mama” (from urbandictionary.com):
A term that precedes an inventive insult to the other person’s mother. 1. “Yo mama” so fat, she have to go downstairs sideways. 2. “Yo mama” so fat when she sits on a rainbow skittles fall out.
Back in the days when guys in the ‘hood actually respected their moms, these words were an invitation to fight, notes the Urban Dictionary. Presumably, the Bloods and the Crips (are these guys still around or am I dating myself?) shouted insults at each other until someone started shooting. Remember the World Cup soccer game in the summer of ’06 when Italy’s Materazzi called France’s Zidane something like “son of a terrorist whore” and Zidane’s headbutting response incurred a penalty that caused France to lose the Cup?
Outside of football and the ’hood, however, this sort of ritual baiting doesn’t take place much these days. But for President Obama, it has become an integral part of his foreign policy. And Vladimir Putin is willing to engage with him. Remember the August ’13 news conference where Obama described Putin as having “that kind of slouch, looking like the bored kid in the back of the classroom?” And a Russian politician responded by posting side-by-side photos of Obama holding his poodle and Putin holding his leopard? And then Putin raised Obama one by annexing the Crimea? Wasn’t that fun!

Excellent article.
It is a fine article. Going back 2008...if people had sat there and simply asked what qualifications exist for candidates, and logically noted lack of experience....Hillary would be President today. I’m not saying it’d be much better....but these one-star comments don’t work and make the current administration look fairly foolish.
