Your Mum - a call to arms on engagement bait.

 Many Facebook posts have gone past click bait, into comment bait. Where your tempted to reveal personal data to the posters. Facebook even has a page on it.

“what your best vacation destination” – "Your Mum”

So from now on I shall be answering engagement bait with 'Your Mum'
