"Mother" - Guild Wars Forums

Evasion Twenty · Aug 17, 2009, 01:59 AM // 01:59

I often hear people calling others their "mom" in groups.

Am I crazy, this is slang, or are these people actually related?

Ex. 2 people were talking in a party, composed of alliance members, (note: we are very close any know each other well), and one called the other their mom. I know for a fact they aren't related at all.

Anyways, what's the term mean?

Haha, yeah, I got confused at first when I heard "mom" being used all the time in parties. I think it's an acronym for something, or another language, I have no clue. Any light on this would be awesome.

I have heard it used as above, or when someone is reminding another player of something they already know.. and they say "thanks mom". As a joke.

its pretty much just moment cuz they need more time

Actually our guild jokingly refers to our guild leader as 'mom'. We switched to Luxon and within a few days we had regained all of the faction we lost in the switch and then some. In Teamspeak our leader was acting very happy and proud of us, and one of our zanier members said "Aww.. She's so proud of her kids."

It bothered her a bit so now when we want to tease her we call her mom.

Might not be the same thing, but it might be something similar...?

When I say Mom, it's cause I actually play with my Mom lol

My Dad, Mom, and Brother all play this game and we play together alot :P

riceangel · Aug 17, 2009, 05:22 AM // 05:22

I've had a couple plp in my guild with their moms, and its not as lame as it sounds XD

Though mom is short for moment or referring to their mom is bothering them

Wuhy · Aug 17, 2009, 05:50 AM // 05:50

I usually use "sec" to avoid confusion :-O

This thread is misleading, i expected a Glen Danzig Worshiping.

And mom=Mommy

sky stars · Aug 17, 2009, 08:01 AM // 08:01

well, in england ( here at least) its a insult lol like "yea and your mom" ect ect

Narcissia · Aug 17, 2009, 08:02 AM // 08:02

yeaaa... mom = moment most of the time

pamelf · Aug 17, 2009, 08:09 AM // 08:09

Well i'm Australian, so I spell it Mum anyway, therefore mom to me always means moment.

Bristlebane · Aug 17, 2009, 10:38 AM // 10:38

I rather say sec or brb,
less confusing than mom ;-)

Fate Crusher · Aug 17, 2009, 11:54 AM // 11:54

Also, if it they just said "your mum(mom whatever)" it's usually just a shortened version of flipping whatever the previous person has said and use it to insult their mother. just checking that this isn't the case.

Usually french players use "mom" for moment because it is slang in their own text speak, since "une momente" is used for "1 second".

Or they're just messing about

Deakon · Aug 17, 2009, 01:35 PM // 13:35

And I always thought it meant, "Give me a minute. My mom needs me to take out the trash or something."

snaek · Aug 17, 2009, 04:33 PM // 16:33

i have never seen this been used before, but it sounds ridiculous... "one mom"... "hold on a mom"... "gimmie a mom"... that just sounds wrong -___-'

It's mainly french jargon, but probably some english speakers picked it up on DSC and are making it viral like the smarties they be
