Con la palabra madre es posible molestar la otra persona pero esta forma no es ofensivo para cualquier persona.

They are excellent (están a toda madre). Congratulations.

If I am not mistaken, “madre” can relate to the head, so saying “estoy hasta la madre de” can be similar to “I’m up to my ears in…”.
