No, this thread is not about Crystal Method lyrics. (But it could be.)
I watched Tarantino’s [Jackie Brown](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119396/maindetails) the Friday before last on Bravo, and was only about three minutes into it when I realized that most of Sam Jackson’s lines contain profanity… and most of those profanities are instances of _motherf__er. At that point, I almost changed channels… but I had to see how badly they ruined the classic line "AK-47. When you absolutely, positively have to kill every motherf_\*\*er in the room."
That’s when I noticed that the overdubs of the profanity were almost more entertaining than the original dialogue… I meant to keep a mental list of all the phrases used to replace “motherf\*\*\*er” but soon forgot.
Here’s the list I can recall so far:
Maryland Farmer
Mutual Fund
Yep. That’s it. Pretty mutual funding short, ain’t it?
Can anyone else who saw the Television Edit of Jackie Brown remember more of these?
How about memorable overdubs in other movies?

If I recall, when _Casino_ was on TV, Joe Pesci’s line, “F\*\*\* you, you mother f\*\*\*er” became “Smoke you, you freakin’ joker.”
And in some other thread someone said that “Yippie-ki-yay, motherf\*\*\*er” in _Die Hard_ became “Yippie-ki-yay, Mister Farmer.”
Personally, I think Maryland Farmer is too long to work well. But what do the TV people know? Bunch of freakin’ jokers.

I seem to remember “motorcycler”

I watched this intermittently on Sunday as I was napping on the couch. I think I remember hearing a MF being replaced by a “monkey flinger”. It was a bit surreal, esp. when Jackie Brown (Grier) got away with “god damn” later on.

It’s only too long if you say “Mare-u-land”. That’s not what most Marylander’s say. Most of us turn it into just two syllables; “Mare-lin” or “Mur-lind”. Something like that.

There’s a scene in _The Lost Boys_where the kid says, “my own brother, a god damn shit sucking vampire.” My brother and I used to think it was funny and say it to each other.
So, we’re watching it on TV one night, and he says, “my own brother, a gosh darn blood sucking vampire.”
