      That’s not really how yo mama jokes work, in an insult sense. They work by implying that suddenly you’re, socially speaking, their father, the rest is flourish. Like the maid uniform your mom wore last night.

        These types of jokes “work” because people consider it an insult when you somehow suggest their mother is promiscuous, or fat, or whatever. When you wonder why that’s sexist ask yourself why these kind of jokes aren’t told as: “Me and my friends gangbanged your father.”
