leave me in your mother

Share definition
phrase, origin of which is in Hebrew and now is probably the most popular phrase in Israel. It's equivalent to "leave me alone" but carries a kind of sarcastic meaning. it's usually used when someone proposes to you something and you just refuse because it either doesn't interest you or you just don't care.

Additionally, "In your mother" is short for "Swear in your mother", an Hebrew common to "Swear to god". Two-three decades ago, for example, the common was "swear to your most precious". "Swear to god" is not in use for obvious reasons.

A very bad and ugly translation from hebrew to english.

The error is built on similarity in the hebrew form of "swearing on", and "putting in".

The street slang often makes the speaker swear on his precious mother, as if to promis that he sais the truth.
In a same manner, it evolved so that when a speaker is replied, the replier puts the speakers' mother's sake on his request.
A: Uri! I am calling you for an hour!
B: Ahhh, leave me, on your mother! I feel like shit.

or

A: Did you know that Miki sleeps with Michal?
B: Leave me, on your mother. Why should I care?

This phrase usually pronounced with heavy Mizrahi accent, meaning "I'm not going to do or even think or consider what you suggested because I'd much prefer doing nothing at the moment". It is usually a stand alone response not requiring any additional explanation or reasoning.
Moshe, do your homework!

That's what happens when a russian tries to translate an arabic oriented phrase from hebrew to english :-)
The "In your mother" is a shorthand for "in your mothers life" which is a phrase close in its meaning to something that is very precious and dear to you.
So I would translate it as "do me a very big favour (as big and important as your mothers life) and leave me alone".

The expression originated from the Hebrew phrase "azov oti be-ima shcha".
The origin of that Hebrew phrase is probably "azov oti le-ma'an hashem!" which means "Leave me alone, for Christ / heavens sakes!"

From there it went certain changes to "azov oti be-shem elohim" (Leave me alone, in the name of god!). Because the last sentence obviously wishing that person to go away, it evolved into a less crule manner "azov oti be-ima shkca" - "Leave me in your mother".

This expression is useable whenever you don't have the patience for someone or for an idea.
Male: Hey babe! Wanna go for a ride?
Female: Leave me in your mother... I'm drunk.

Female: Hey babe! Wanna go shopping?
Male: Leave me in your mother... There's a game on TV.

Previous examples applies.

This expression comes from Hebrew. Although it sounds very crude in English, it's not supposed to be. the expression "in your mother" (be-ima shkha, in Hebrew) means "please, common!(expressed as an "unpatient" tone" (it is also used when someone tells you something great( E.x:In your mother). It's a short for "do you swear in your mother?"). So this means that "leave me in your mother" means "leave me please = Common, please, leave me".

The meaning might be more accuratly defined as an equal to as "leave me \ no way" but is basically meant as an answer to something that is not logical.
The expression is used as following:
1) when someone talks to you but you have no patienece to listen for a reason.

2) when someone tells you an idea, which you try to talk him out of it.

Someone: Hey, c'mon, let's have another game!
You: Ohh... leave me in your mother...
