No one but DL knows...

Jacques explains why there's no tomorrow, and if you read the
FWWM script, a deleted scene explains why Laura is "the muffin"
(a huckleberry muffin, to be precise).

I always thought it might have been a French(-Canadian) pun, at least
in Jacques' mind; but I don't speak French, so I can't guess.

I do know that "fart" is related to the French "petard", because
early development of explosives in Europe involved manure, and the words
for fart and gunpowder charge were the same. So when Jacques fires a
blank into his brain with his hand, I think that's his stoner logic.
