The full quote is "Yippee-Ki-Yay, motherfucker!", uttered by Bruce Willis in "Die Hard"

Actually it's yippee-ki-yay, melon trucker

The cable tv version of die hard 2 that we taped as kids was "Mr. Falcon".

Thanks for the chuckle. I'm giggling like a school girl on the couch and my wife thinks I'm nuts.

Oh man if you haven't seen it here's the clip.

i've never understood how "mother father" is supposed to be even remotely viable as a replacement, it sounds utterly nonsensical. Are we talking my maternal grandpa? My paternal grandma? Or maybe we're talking about someone's hermaphrodite parent?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I think it's just supposed to sound somewhat similar.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 10 months ago

i get that, but when replacing a curse it still has to make sense, like "shut the front door" instead of "shut the fuck up"

"mother father" just sounds like that weird old american device that would read closed captions on the TV and replace curses with softer words, but wasn't advanced enough to process grammar.

Hippy kayak, other buckets!

The Quuuuuill, you did it! And you completely botched the catchphrase.

[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 5 points 10 months ago

I thought the rest was "yippee-ki-ooo", so I was wondering how that was a bad word to learn.

I'm partial to the reference in Super Troopers.
