(n.) mamarate—a southern form of offensive martial arts, developed and practiced by mothers, that uses both
bare hands and any surrounding object that can be used as a weapon to inflict intentional pain, misery, and/or death. Any circumstance in which an angry mother (see also Mama bear) physically attacks another person, especially as a form of
justice for hurting one of her
kids, can be characterized as mamarate. In mamarate, rules fly out the
window. Due to the surprise, vicious nature of the attacking mother, mamarate is a very dangerous form of fighting. Often times, the attacker becomes so angry, she will black out and not even remember killing a bitch. Bystanders are advised to
run and hide if they see someone using mamarate on another person. Though it mostly occurs randomly, the fatal and more heavily gruesome attacks are usually carefully calculated for an embarrassing death and double victory of sorts. Not only is it
almost certain fatalities will be discovered missing genitals, it is widely rumored the missing genitals will be saved and
later used in an attack on another enemy of the mother.
