How it's used
Using this phrase is a way to deliver a severe insult while technically avoiding the explicit mention of the mother. It functions as a coded, aggressive jab that implies the listener's mother is a prostitute. Because it is highly offensive, it is strictly reserved for intense confrontations and should be avoided in all polite or professional settings.
Examples
You're talking so rudely, are you trying to insult my mother?
He started cursing people's mothers as soon as he opened his mouth, it's really rude.
