It is just an insult. Some theorize it came from slave trading. Imagine this. Everyone is chained together in cages on ships. It is tight, uncomfortable, and smelly. Everyone is sleepy and hungry. They have no sense of power nor control. To make matters worse, most don't even speak the same languages. There are only a few words that are near universal. Mama is probably one of those. Now, that was about the only thing they had in common, they had a mother. If they didn't know anything else, they could get a rise out of insulting each other's mother as a form of distraction. It was a way of keeping some sense of sanity under such conditions.
