I learned that this phrase came at a time when Bill Gates was introducing the first version of Microsoft Office. In fact he first said "Excel to your mother" but that did not catch on. He did try "PowerPoint to your mother" but that was a dismal failure. The change to "Word to your mother" somehow caught on and when a friend asked him about word processing because the friend's mom was behind the times as a secretary and needed help.
When asked what should I buy mom for Christmas. My dad said "WORD TO YOUR MOTHER" It did not work out really well because she did not have a computer.

Get the Word mug.boy, in an argument with his father:
boy: dad, sorry, I'll skip dinner tonight and (...)
father: (...) finish your chemistry and physics projects you are working on with your girlfriend Melissa? That sure would be nice.
boy: kodem koll, dad, stop putting words in the horse's mouth, it's rude. And FYI it's actually Spanish and Latin homework I was going to work on. I'll work on the chemistry and physics later, and with my friend Brandon, not my girlfriend Melissa.
