Revealing mistake: When Neil is lifted into the air so that he can change the lightbulb, wires can be seen lifting him up. (00:24:50)
Revealing mistake: Whilst Vyvyan has Neil raised in the air, in the shot of Neil saying "Okay, here's a joke for you, Rick," the wire lifting Neil up can be seen near his waist. The wires can be seen again when the band starts playing and he starts waving his arms. (00:20:58 - 00:21:20)
Chosen answer: It wasn't referring to anything real, just that the government's bureaucratic naming, The Guardian's mangled spelling or Rick's bad pronounciation resulted in the unlikely word "Footumch" being spoken.
