Near the end, when Bill becomes a towel boy in the exclusive gentleman's club, there is an exchange between Bill and Mr. Manetti (Joe Spinell) in which Bill calls him a "jagoff" under his breath. The term "jagoff" is a derogatory slang expression native to Pittsburgh and surrounding western Pennsylvania, and is a derivative of "jack-off". This is a nod to the fact that Michael Keaton is from Coraopolis, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh. [And, although many who lived through the 1980s recall the term being used ubiquitously, most etymology sources attribute the origin and use to mainly western Pennsylvania.]
