I always thought of it as a possessive noun, not plural.

But honestly i don't know if i just made possessive noun up or not.

Your mom's sixth divorce: the sixth divorce belonging to your mom. In this case "mom's" is a possessive singular noun. It feels like an adjective, because it's describing a sixth divorce, but is technically a noun.

Where are you getting sixth divorce from?

They're just being (in my opinion) pretty damn funny.

I don't get it. Oh well.

They're being ridiculous by saying your mom has been divorced six times or more. Which is highly unlikely. It doesn't affect what they're actually talking about. I like absurd shit like that.
