In one of the episodes, Lt. Green says "do I get a coconut?" or something like that after being congratulated for blowing up a mysteron. My son and I couldn't stop laughing because it was so random, does anybody have any idea what it means? Was it like when somebody says "good job, have a cookie" or something like that?
Or does the coconut reference have something to do with him being jamaican or an islander as people have mentioned on the message board?

It comes from the old style British funfair(probably elsewhere too?), you could aim a rifle at a target and if you hit that target you would win a prize - usually a coconut or teddy bear.The excited player would probably call out to the stallholder checking the paper target "do I win a coconut"?
So it means in this sense that you have done something skillful that has been a success- therefore, do I get a coconut?
