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.

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...?

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

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

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

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
