YOur mom

Me: So man, how's it going?
Idiot: Your face!! Oh snap!

Here, I closed the conversation, blocked the person, and had a good laugh. Then I stopped: this "your face" insult could most possibly be the most overused insult since.."your mom"!

But what exactly does "your face" really mean?

Fred, from Barrie had this to say:

"Your face!" is the second in a series of gangsta insults.
1.Your mom!
2.Your face!
3.Your mom's face!

While Jess, via the internet said:

Something that shoud be frowned upon and censored on TV or in a magazine.

Then, she nicely gave me an example:

Get your face away before it infects me with sars, aids, and cancer at the same time!

Thank you all for your imput on the matter.


Update: I decided to add another phrase in for fun. This one is "jumping the shark" which describes when a show hits the beginning of the end.

This phrase came from the original Batman show's feature-length movie.

Batman (played by Adam West)was on a rope ladder hanging from the Bat-copter when a shark jumped out of the sea and clamped onto Batman's leg.

He sprayed it with Bat-repellant (just happened to have in his utility belt), the shark fell to the sea and blew up (apparently a boobie-trapped shark).

Real life example: Michael Jackson jumped the shark when he turned into a white guy.
