My mom was visiting my fiance’s mother, who is caucasian-American, in Arizona and didn’t know the area.

Mom: Where is Shitty Bank?
Fiance’s Mother: [a little perplexed] Well, there are a lot of shitty banks here. Which one are you looking for?
Mom: Shitty Bank? Sheeeettty Bank? Seetty Bank?
Fiance’s Mother: Oh, you mean Citibank?
