So it means "i.diot" or "s.tupid"? Or is that too harsh of a translation on my part? Also, is "Maga" the same thing as "Mumu"?

maga/mugu is a fool, a bait that has fallen. Mumu is a bumbbling fool, clumsy person, slow-poke or just a silly person just like Mr Bean or Frank Spencer.

where is this person from? na only you dey talk dis one oooo.....

'ur father left yansh', whodey follow you curse like dat.

For me it is Ur fada/Ur mother and it is used in virtually all regions. In Yoruba land, baba e/Iya e is the first curse a baby would learn even before he knows how to speak, Igbos also use Npa gi (ur father) a lot especially in the villages.

This is followed closely by ode/mumu/idiot and then by 'you dey craze/were.

Here in St. Kitts, Caribbean, we also use the word 'mumu' as well that came down to use from our fore-parents who came from Africa, and it has the same meaning.
