Good thread, knew I could get some good conversations going. :)
I think this is the case as well. I think the word is supposed to be "mo'fucker" (does anybody have the script to confirm?), but was simply pronounced in NY/NJ slang to be "mah fucker" but it wasn't well inunciated, as I and many others it seems can definately hear an ell sound in it.
Incidentally, I did spend almost the past 8 years in lower Westchester County, NY (Valhalla represent!) and worked on Wall Street for several years, so I'm very used to NY/NJ accent, but thought even this was a bit extreme.
I chalk up the confusion to Mewes' good acting. :-)

P.S. Played the track today for two native upstate NY'ers and both thought the word was "mall"...
