momma
Child's mother word
Momma is an informal, affectionate term for mother, common in Southern American English and children's speech: Go ask your momma.
It often carries warmth or nostalgia that the neutral "mother" lacks.
In slang, momma can refer to an attractive woman or girlfriend: She's a fine momma.
