Notes to answerer
Asker: Tak Marianne. Det er en helt speciell begivenhed, som du kan finde via "the mother who brought down the Fort Hood killer" og/eller "the mother of all arguments a headline" du vil finde begge direkte via google, hvis du har tid altsaa! Ment som en diskussion og derfor ingen point!

ingen kære mor


Explanation:
Hvis det du søger er en vending, der kan bruges om situationen, og hvori ordet "mor" indgår.

Man kan også sige "alle argumenters moder", men så går den ene af betydningerne af det engelske "argument" (skænderi, uoverensstemmelse) tabt.
