[[Category:Williamspeak]]'''Your Mom''' is a conceit with currency among some circles at Williams. It is probably a derivative of the "Yo Momma"/"Your Mom" joke jokes that were popular in grade school. It is invariably used with irony. "Your mom" can be used as an unthinking answer to a question or a quick and easy riposte. E.g.,
"I'm going to the baseball game, wanna come?"
"Your mom wants to come."
Your mom reached her peak popularity in 2002-2003, when more than a handful of seniors gave Math colloquia with "Your Mom" in the title. The complete list is:
