A benign proxy for the expletive "motherfucker". Employed by American television censors in the 1990s when broadcasting the film Die Hard 2 (1990). The phrase was inserted into Bruce Willis's dialogue when he declared, "Yippy-kai-yay, motherfucker" while lying on a snowy tarmac just before he ignited a trail of jet fuel that destroyed an airliner in mid-takeoff. Compare to fighting in the alps.
"You know, Jared, after seven drinks you act like a real Mr. Falcon."
from the movie, Die Hard 2
this phrase replaced the more vulgar phrase "yippee kay yay motherfucker" in the censored version of the film intended for television airplay.
The statement was made by Bruce Willis as he threw his lit Zippo lighter into the stream of fuel in order to bring down the escaping plane full of evildoers.
yippee kay yay Mr. Falcon!
