Simpsons Q: What does "Ditty Mao" mean?

[lasergecko]

In several episdoses, characters says "Ditty Mao". I think it might be vietnamesse.

Its said a several times in the espisode where the all the school children get snowed in at the school. (Including Skinner's flash backs to Skinner's time in Vietnam).
Its also in an episode where Krusty is in the back of Moe's (I think) and a guy with an eye patch puts a gun on the table and yells "Ditty Mao" at Krusty.

It is from the movie "The Deer Hunter" (which is parodied in the scene with Krusty.)

di di mao - hurry up (as noted above)
do ma - mf'er (loosely translated), you'll hear this often
dup mai chet - knock you the f out

Yea, that's about as close as my muddled Viet will translate it. di di, would be like "go"

Well, it was already answered 9 years ago, and with the proper spelling to boot... so really, it only took 11 minutes, and someone is just 9 years late to the party.
