Does "LA MAMAS" mean something offensive in spanish?

[Phokus]

People were dressing up for Halloween today and my boss dressed up as a biker chick... she had a leather jacket that said "LA MAMAS" (as in, Los Angeles Mamas) on the back of the jacket... one of my hispanic co-workers said that "LA MAMAS" in spanish means something offensive, but she wouldn't tell us... tried looking it up on google but didn't find anything. Anyone know what it means?

Well, "mamar" roughly translates as "to suckle, as would an infant." Hispanic speakers occasionally insult one another with the label "mamón," which could be roughly translated as "sucker," but with a certain infantile context.

"La" when placed in front of a conjugated verb acts as a (female) direct object pronoun, meaning "she" is the object of the action of the verb. "Mamas" is a conjugation of "mamar" in the 2nd person, meaning "you suck."

Together, "La mamas" means approximately "you suck her" or "you suckle her."

So basically your boss was saying that you suck her?!?!

Maybe you should sue for sexual harassment!
