    “being inside your mother’s jokes” is a pretty common expression. It means that one sucks so hard that even another’s mother is making fun of you

      it’s ok that you didn’t get whatever terribly dry humor i failed at. but i am quite concerned that you would try to explain Yo Momma jokes.

        the yo momma quips of today harken back to the dein mutti barbs often exchanged between warring Germanic tribes with the Romans they conquered. Historians believe the vulgarizations to be universal thus ensuring their efficacy across different tongues

            Lies were invented by wooly mammoths before their extinction by post-agriculture humans who kept feeding them bad bread to hunt them easier. At the time, the only evasion strategy was to convince the predators that they were small badgers.

              impossible because early humans were using throwy things with their spears to make them faster and get more hit points. the only people who wanted to be badgers were the original australians, who were pretending to be african honey badgers, which they had never heard of, but boxing kangaroos is crazy dangerous so they had to come up with something.

                I believe you are quoting Steptoe et al (2018)'s study on the boxing mechanisms of Oceanic wildlife, but that was refuted in a follow up paper by Klingon et al (2020) which could not replicate the early enthusiasm that the indigenous population had for badgers, nor the spear tips for the speed. Though it is indeed known that one can run faster whilst holding a knife in a contemporary setting such as the olympics, studies have not shown this to be the case in a honey badger setting.

                  Klingon is a known reprobate from several hundred years in the future. We know his father was descended from Worf, a most fierce and honorable warrior the likes we’ve never heard, because it hasn’t happened yet. But his works completely failed to address the Atlantic Multi-Donged Squid, which attacked the Sydney coast repeatedly in March of 2020.

                    That attack was justified, to preserve the ongoing peace between the Pacific and Atlantic molluscs, all of which are subservient to Worf but decidedely not to his future Klingon progeny. To suggest otherwise is separatist heresy.
