Your mother:
Scottish adoption of the American insult, i.e. "Yo'mama so fat, Ben Kenobi said, 'Dang! That's no moon.'" Interestingly used in the film Terminator when Lt Traxler responds to Dt. Vuckovich's comment that he 'looks like shit' by simply saying "Yo' mama." The rest of the insult being implied.
Traditionally, during a conversational piece, a lot of Scots will leave the implication to the imagination of the receiver. Thus, many delivered insults are not acknowledged until such times as the receiver recounts what he/she just said or the methadone wears off. On average, many of the sharper Scots will respond with "No, No. That's your Maw that is." Which is a tip-of-the-hat to the popular Baddiel and Skinner sketch.

"It's a bit wet and windy out there."
"Yer Maw!!!"
"I was nearly late for work t'day. God it was tight."
"Yer Maw!!"
"You're shite at that!"
"That's not what yer Maw said last night, when I climbed aff her!"
"You finished with that Kit-Kat?"
"Yeah, I couldn't take another two fingers."
"Mwaaaaa! Yer Maaaw !!"
"It's heavy"
"Yer Maw!"
"The instructions say, 'twist off cap and push up bottom' "
"Har, har. Yer Maw !!"
"Is the weapon cocked?"
"Yer Maw!!"
"It needs serviced."
"Yer Maw!!"
"There was something I was going to do but I've forgotten."
"Yer maw"
...and so on, etc.
In effect, it can be uselessly tagged on to anything, anybody says.
"Butter?"
"Yer Maw!"
"It's sore."
"Once again -for those who missed it earlier- Yer Maaaaw !!"
