Yeah, before looking it up I thought it was probably 90% likely to be a racist slur and 10% likely to be an obscure jab at royalty or aristocracy. You're probably right about the reasoning though, but the joke could have so frustratingly easily been punching up instead of down.

This time he didn't even punch, he's only touching the guy with his fingertips. I think gravity did the biggest job by hitting him in the face.

Not that this excuses anything else being discussed.
