In the ep where the kids get snowed in the school with Skinner, anyone know what Bart is saying to Skinner to order him around? I imagine it's Vietnamese, since Skinner is a Nam vet...

watch the ep where homer goes to the navy and watch the deer hunter, the joke gets a whole lot funnier

The term "didi" is common in movies of the VN era, it's heard in "Platoon", as well, e.g., "hey, man, let's didi" = "let's split".

It's a "Deer Hunter" reference (and I believe it's "Diddy Mao"). A group of soldiers are forced by VietCong soldiers to play Russian roulette, with the VC soldiers saying that as they slap them around. Then one of the soldiers gets a really bold idea and convinces the VC to give him THREE bullets...
