YO MAMA JOKES


Surely, we can all agree that insulting someone-s mum is really cheap and stupid. Just like your mama! This, my friends, has been a classic -yo mama- joke, the likes of which gained popularity in the 1990s when an American TV show had contestants exchanging insults about each other-s mothers. The idea, however, is not new. The oldest -yo mama- joke was found on a 3,500-year-old Babylonian tablet. Jokes which target a person-s mother are universally offensive as mothers in all cultures are especially dear to people-s hearts. Most commonly, such jokes focus on the mum-s alleged promiscuity, her weight, lack of personal hygiene, laziness and stupidity, and have been told by almost everyone, from a playground bully to an American President.

Complete the sentences below with the appropriate information from the text, making sure they are logical and grammatically correct. Write 1-4 words in each gap.

1) -Yo mama- jokes ______ since the 1990s. They appeared on a TV show when the participants of a game had to insult one another-s mothers in turns.
2) Archaeologists found a tablet with a -yo mama- joke written in _____ ago.
3) People all over the world are _____ when their mothers are targeted in jokes.
4) -Yo mama- jokes often call someone-s mum promiscuous, ______. They also make fun of their weight and personal hygiene.
5) No matter who you meet: a mean kid in the playground or a politician who lives in the White House, everyone has probably ____


Side B

1) Do you know any -yo mama- jokes If you don-t, look up some examples. Do you find them funny Why (not)
2) Why do you think people seem to be more offended by mere suggestions of promiscuity of their mothers or sisters rather than their fathers or brothers What does it say about gender roles and expectations
3) What is your view on jokes that make fun of people-s sexuality, weight, intelligence or ethnicity Is there anything that shouldn-t be joked about Why (not)
4) Do you think a -yo mama- joke is something a politician should be telling while running for office Why (not) What is your view on this group of people using jokes to gain voters- attention
5) How is the bond shared between one-s mother different from the one shared with one-s father Which of your parents are you more likely to joke with or about Why

Letstalkowy zestaw FUNNY MEDIATIONS to raj dla nauczycieli przygotowujących uczniów do egzaminu maturalnego, bo zawiera zadania, które są dla kursantów najbardziej kłopotliwe.
Teksty dotyczą naprawdę ciekawych zagadnień, a oprócz typowych zadań na mediację językową, znajdziecie tu też dodatkowe pytania pozwalające uczniom głębiej przeanalizować dany temat.

Mediacja językowa to ważna część egzaminu, która ocenia zdolność ucznia do rozumienia i wyrażania sensu tekstu w obcym języku, a także umiejętność przekładu na język ojczysty.
Zazwyczaj, mediacja językowa na maturze polega na dostarczeniu uczniowi tekstu źródłowego w języku obcym, na przykład artykułu prasowego, fragmentu książki lub innego rodzaju tekstu. Uczeń musi przetłumaczyć ten tekst na swój język ojczysty, zachowując jego sens, styl i strukturę.
W ramach mediacji językowej oceniane są nie tylko umiejętności tłumaczenia, ale także rozumienie kontekstu, gramatyka, leksyka, precyzja i poprawność językowa.
