Let me summarize the theory behind that word. in Yoruba land, we don't just say that kinda statement anyhow, it comes out from our thought out of annoyance perhaps the person we are referring to offend us or kinda take us for granted regarding some issues, then with anger, we profess out the statement " mo to e bi lomo . " - and it could also be termed " Am old enough to be your mother/father , if not ................... it signifies that the person in question is misbehaving before one could utter such words. Hope that helps.
