Just watched it again today, for the umpteenth time, with my son. Great flick. My question: Just after the evil and thieving Al, of Al’s Toy Barn, has faxed photos of Woody and the Roundup Gang and concluded his bargain over the phone with Mr. Konichi in Tokyo, he does a little victory dance and says something like “That’s my mustache!” What does he mean? Is there some slang I’m missing here? ---

According to the IMDB trivia section for that movie it is an English mnemonic for a Japanese phrase meaning “You’re welcome”: > **[Toy Story 2 (1999) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120363/trivia)** > > Toy Story 2 (1999) Trivia on IMDb: Cameos, Mistakes, Spoilers and more...

“Doitashimashite” is the Japanese equivalent of “You’re welcome”, and is pronounced Doh ee tash ee mash tay, which sounds a _little_ like “Don’t touch your moustache.”
