Pretty straight forward really. The poor bloody woman who gave birth to you....as for this rather heated debate about the spelling, whether it is mum or mom. Well I would say it does really matter but I feel like yank bashing today so I will point out an error in american english which is blaring example of either arrogance or stupidity.

The word Lieutenant is pronounced incorrectly by americans, it is a french word and to spell in phonetically in english one would write it as Leftenant.

So the yanks fail...sorry

Oh also mum has something to do with keeping your mouth shut about something...read examples

A word americans don't know how to spell

Also townies use the phrase 'your mum' as an insult

A term that equals mom in british.

a word which dickhead americans can't spell, and claim we spell wrong - despite the fact that WE invented the language, and the idiots WE sent to america couldn't spell.

The British, Australian, New Zealand and South African equivalent to the American and Canadian Mom.

And all this argument about the correct way to spell it is nonsense. Why would you bother fighting about the right way to spell Mum/Mom, cheque/check or fiord/fjord? It's neither here nor there. And certainly saying it was Mum first isn't going to bring about a nation-wide reform on it's spelling in America, now, is it?

keeping quiet

1. A British form of the word 'mom'

2. Means to keep quiet (also British)

Mum, this is how Brittish and Astralians refer to their mother.

Yes Americans say Mom and this is right too

,but with all ths shit going on in the world its funny how much people get worked up over the spelling. Quite frankly say it the way you want because their both right
