General
ye ma
What does ye ma mean?
Literally 'your mother', but almost never used neutrally. It's the Scouse all-purpose comeback — lobbed back at someone regardless of whether their original line had anything to do with anyone's mum. Pure playground energy that survives well into adulthood.
"'Who ate the last biscuit?' 'Ye ma.'"
