After Wash spits out mudder's milk: "Je shr shuh muh lan dong shi" = What is this bad stuff?

After bartender knocks out milk bottle from Jayne's hand: "Hero of Canton won't be drinkin' that shiong mao niao." = angry(?) cat piss.

After guitarist strums and first sings Jayne: "Yeh soo. Ta mah duh..." = I have no idea, to tell you the truth

When Wash is trying to take off and the land lock is engaged: "Goo yang jong dug goo yang." = I have no idea either.

This actually sounds a little like Gaelic, but I'm sure its coincidental.

In the Dark Ages, Romano-Celtic Britannia was over-run by Viking-like cultures collectively called the Anglo-Saxons. They were led by warlords called Drytinns, and the greatest warriors among them were the Thegns.

"Tah Mah Duh" literally means "your mom's". This phrase is usually said in anger towards someone/something. Kinda like a f**k you.

tah mah de, is often use as an expletive. it literally means "his mothers", but used kinda like the way someone says shit or fuck or damn.

tah mah de, I stubbed my toe
tah mah de, he stole my money
