Mom is certainly brash / obnoxious!

last night, my brother told Mom that she was brash..
needless to say, she didn't know what that meant..
(her grasp of English is a bit lacking, shall we say)
Jon said that it was a nice way of saying "obnoxious"..
I wouldn't rescue her, as I thought it was spot-on..
she was extremely horrified, and protested to us:
"everybody likes me, what are you talking about?!"
newsflash: not everybody likes you, get used to it!
that was certainly hilarious, though.. had a good laugh ;)
