I've never really heard 'mamma' used that way but after reading these posts, it does seem to be more cultural. Another "term of endearment" that I don't get is when girlfriends call each other "b*tches", as in "Hey, b*tch, what are you up to?", "B*tch, I saw your mama the other day". It's mostly a younger generation that says that but when we used that word towards another girl...it was not in a friendly way. I think that ranks up there when black friends call either other the N word. OYE I hate that. I don't like the b*tches thing either. |

I don’t get that, either. Or calling a boy little man. In general I’m not much for nicknames, though.

If you part of the "in-group" it is ok, if you are an outsider, it is a no-no. The same with ethnic groups using words that would be considered offensive if an outsider used it. |

In my 50's and I have 2 friends that will use that phrase in the most friendliest way. Doesn't bother me one bit. I know what they mean. It also meant something completely different back when I was growing up. I can think of few sacred "bad" words that people don't use now as terms of affection. I think television changed the effect they used to have. |

My Dad's nickname for his mutter (mom) was Mooshy. For some reason my sister calls her daughter Mooshy. Just seems weird to me.
