Yo Momma Vocabulary Builder
Set
2Slide2
Yo momma’s so fat, she told the doctor she needed an
anodyne
for her feet, and he told her to sit down!
An o dyne {ANN uh dine}
N. a pain-killer (drug or medicine)
Adj. Inoffensive or uncontroversial; unlikely to provoke
The more broad usage of anodyne is to describe things that don’t offend. The band Uncle Tupelo, which gave alternative rock an infusion of country in the early 1990’s, named their final album
Anodyne
. Slide3
Yo momma’s such a Philistine, she thought Crime and Punishment was a WWE tagteam!
Phil is tine {FILL uh steen}
N. Someone with no knowledge of or interest in culture
Adj. Having no knowledge of or interest in culture, lowbrow.
Yo momma thinks the Missouri Compromise is an NBA team. To her, a night of culture is watching Real World/Road Rules Challenge. She cannot differentiate between jazz songs: there is one song, and it is called “Jazz.” She looks at modern art and immediately hollers, “I could do that.” The only culture she gets is when she’s tested for strep. And worse, she doesn’t care about her ignorance. Yo momma is a
philistine
.Slide4
Yo momma’s so dumb, you told her you enjoyed
persiflage
, and she bought you a hunting outfit.
Per si flage {PER si flahj}
N. Playful, teasing talk, done in a light tone
Persiflage is a great word that, contrary to yo momma’s ideas, has nothing to do with camouflage. You and your friends probably engage in
persiflage
more often than not. Trading Yo Momma jokes is a form of persiflage. Synonyms are banter and badinage. Slide5
Yo mom is a palindrome
!
Pal in drome {PAL in drohm}
N. a word or phrase spelled identically backward and forward
Oh, no you didn’t! You didn’t just call my momma a
palindrome
! Actually, yo “momma” is not a
palindrome
. Yo “mom” is. Yo “dad” is, too.
Other examples: “race car”, “radar”, Bob, Anna, Otto, and “A man, a plan, a canal, Panama”.Slide6
Yo momma’s such a parasite
, when she wants to watch TV, she goes to Best Buy!
Par a site {PAIR uh syte}
N. Someone who, without giving anything back, benefits from others; a moocher
A
parasite
is a biological term that refers to an organism that lives in or on another organism. From this, the word has come to describe people who receive support from others and offer nothing in return. The 30-year-old man that still lives in Mom and Dad’s basement and pays no rent is a
parasite
living off of his parents. Slide7
Yo momma’s so solipsistic
, she married herself!
Sol ip sis tic {sah lip SIS tik}
Adj. Believing only oneself exists; highly self-centered
Solipsism
is the theory that the self is the only thing that exists. It’s a philosophical word that, for obvious reasons, can also be used to describe a general preoccupation with oneself (
egocentrism
).
Solipsism
is an idea that every college sophomore thinks he is the first to think of, until later he learns that so many other people have thought of it, there’s a word for it and everything. This mentality, the “I know everything when you really don’t” mindset, can be described by using the word “sophomoric,” which is derived from the Greek loosely meaning “wise fool.”Slide8
Yo momma’s feet are so callous
, when she walks on a wooden floor, it sounds like she’s tap dancing!
Cal ous {CAL luhs}
Adj. Having or exhibiting a lack of care; covered with calluses
If something is
callous
, it’s hardened. It can mean literally having calluses (hardened parts of the skin), as in the above example, and can also mean “emotionally hardened or toughened, unfeeling.” While you can have a
callous
sole, you can also have a
callous
soul. Slide9
Yo momma’s teeth are so askew
, it looks like her mouth’s throwing up gang signs!
A skew {uh SKYOO}
Adj. & adv. Not level or even
Askew
is a special kind of crooked, meaning turned or twisted to one side. A picture can be knocked askew on the wall. A tie can be
askew
if not tied right. Note that
askew
can be an adjective (“that
askew
picture” or an adverb (“the picture was hanging
askew
”).Slide10
Yo momma’s so obtuse
, she puts stamps on faxes!
Ob tuse {ahb TOOS}
Adj. Slow to understand or perceive; difficult to understand
If yo momma is
obtuse
, she is slow to catch on. She sits on the TV and watches the couch. It takes her an hour to cook minute rice, etc. Usually, if someone merits being called obtuse, he or she has somehow frustrated you.
Obtuse
’s
other meaning indicates that something is hard to decipher.Slide11
Yo momma’s so asinine
, when you said it was chilly outside, she ran out with a spoon.
As I nine {ASS uh nine}
Adj. Stupid, foolish
The biggest difference between obtuse and asinine is that
asinine
usually applies to behavior. That is, someone doesn’t have to be stupid to be
asinine
.
