Melon Farmer!
This made me laugh out loud. Jim, at Uncle Jazzbeau's Gallimaufrey, reports the anecdote of watching part of Die Hard 3: Bruce and Samuel Get Paid Lots of Money to Blow Stuff Up, when he noticed that Samuel Jackson called Bruce Willis a "melon-farming cracker." Jim explains that he eventually noticed that "melon farmer" stood in for another MF expletive. It turns out that Alex Cox, of Repo Man fame, coined the phrase when re-dubbing that film for television. By the way, Melon Farmers is a cool site focusing on media censorship.
