A white male character in a commercial says,

"She's a  _bad momma-jomma_!"


I don't know for certain how old the expression _bad momma-jomma_ is -
perhaps it goes back to the Roaring 'Twenties - but, whatever, it has
never ceased to be a cover for

"bad motherfucker!"

Well, all that I can say is,

"Keep on keepin' on tappin' that ass!"

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die!"––a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
–Mark Twain

Once we recognize that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity,
or evil intent, we can uncumber ourselves of the impossible burden of
trying to be permanently right. We can take seriously the proposition
that we could be in error, without necessarily deeming ourselves
idiotic or unworthy.
–Kathryn Schulz
