This might seem ridiculous, but I've now encountered "Your mom has an outie"
twice in anime, and both times, it's been translated as "son of a bitch." I
just want to know if there's something to this, or if it's one hell of a
coincidence @.@.

In particular, in "Bokura ga Ita", the angry FeMC says to the male love
interest "お前の母ちゃんは出べそ", which is translated as "Son of a bitch!" in the
subtitles. I thought this was just the translators being overly zealous, but
then... [![bokura ga

in Masamune-kun no Revenge, an angry FeMC asks the male love interest to
translate "お前の母ちゃん出べそ" into English, and the male love interest literally says
in engrish "Son of a bitch" (i.e. "サノバビッチ"). The context for this is FeMC is
miffed that male-love-interest-kun could be so smart, so accosts him with a
series of questions. [![Masamune-kun no

Note that the Masamune-kun instance is literally firsthand (not just english
translation shenanigans), which leads me to believe there's something to this
@.@.

question
word-choice expressions slang spoken-language internet-slang
"Your mom has an outie" = "son of a bitch" in English?
From a pragmatic point of view, お前の母ちゃんでべそ is a widely recognized way of
insulting but not really used in reality (I don't think I've ever heard it
used in my childhood). Anyway, the meaning does not really play a role if it
is ever used. If I can assume English speakers do not REALLY imply the literal
meaning of _son of a bitch_ or _motherfxxker_ , お前の母ちゃんでべそ is close (perhaps)
except that English versions are used more often.

Etymologically, お前の母ちゃんでべそ seems even more close to those English versions.
According to [this](https://www.poc39.com/archives/1278),

  * Theory 1: でべそ is an euphemism for sexual organ so that the phrase implies the speaker has seen the other's mother naked, implying she is a bitch. This makes the phrase closer to _son of a bitch_.

  * Theory 2: でべそ suggests the tie with the mother, implying an incestuous relationship. This make the phrase closer to _motherfxxker_. (see [this](https://news.livedoor.com/article/detail/18550958/) also)

I have no idea of the legitimacy of these theories, but they are not commonly
known anyway.
