The phrase "by far" is used to describe something more than "most".
Instead of saying "that was the most disgusting thing I have seen" one could say "that is by far the most disgusting thing I have seen".

It means that something is the best in a particular category or subject and no other competitor (perceived or actual) is even close to being as good.
Good Luck!!!

When someone says that it means to insult you, its an insult for example: Get your head out your *** And you or someone else says "yo mamma" That means tell yo momma to get her head out of her ***. Or Yo momma is so ugly her birth certificate is an apology note.
