Answer 10

I hate to tell you this but this is actually slang. The only reason I will tell you is so that you won't repeat it during a conversation and put your foot in your mouth, so to speak. what it really means is someone running his mouth and he is seen as a sucker, or a clown "with the mouth he is a sucker" although the work mamey is not actually used as "sucker" but more as someone who is a jester.
