In the film: "Falling Down", starring Michael Douglas, there is a scene where he enters an army surplus store and the owner tries to show off by provoking a couple of homosexuals. And one of his little parting shots was: "And what about the muff divers... think about it?" I do not understand this comment. Please help because it's starting to bother me. But unless you've seen the film I doubt you'll be able to help.

I know it's about eating pusssy but I don't understand why he said: "and what about the muff divers... think about it" What about the muff divers and what is there to think about?

I belive "think about it", was just his catch phrase of sorts. He also says that after saying something about his empty can of Nazi gas. Most crazy people in movies have catch phrases just to let you know they are crazy, like the tooth fairy's "Do you see?" in Manhunter, or the Joker's "Why so serious?" in The Dark Knight.

Interesting. And maybe muff divers is another name for lesbians. That would make sense why he would take the piss out of homosexuals and then switch his attack on lesbians. I thought muff divers referred to anyone who liked wrapping their chops around a bit of minge. That's what got me confused.

The character is using it as a slur. When the movie came out, it was still socially difficult for people of alternate lifestyles. Considering the locale of the film, it was spot on with attitudes of that city at the time. It was also a plot device to make the audience root for the frustrated main character, as opposed to the bigot who became his victim. There are several extreme stereotypes that were confronted during D-Fens's little odyssey. All culminating with a big exclamation point when he asks his rhetorical question on the pier.
