Seriously, what is the fanciest way to say this? Say you're at a fancy dress party and you have this urge to say it. How would you?

You would address the person by their formal title.

Eg Typically is would be MRS SMITH..If the lady was a doctor then DR Smith would be appropriate.

The mayor of a city or Judge- Her Honour, or the Honourable MRS Smith

For example, at work, the Assistant General Manager is the son of the Owner of the Hotel. If I am talking to the Son, it is regarded as unacceptable to say, oh, I prepared this report for your dad!! He wants me to say, I prepared this report
for MR Park. He in turn will say, MR Park needs so and so, not MY dad needs so and so. This is not the only time I have seen this being done.

I usually do not have a really big uncontrolable urge to pop out "your mom" at a fancy party. But, you could say, "Oh, Stan, her she is, the woman who birthed you. " I would rather hear you say, "Wow, Stan, Your mom looks fantastic!" Good luck at your next party and you just can not hold it back!

When I was little, I always said Mother...my sister said Mama..I heard someone say one day, how nice it was to hear Mother instead of Mama.....it has a more elegant sound, don;t you think?

Well you wouldn't say "Yo Mama." You could say, "your lovely and esteemed Mother."
