What a treat to get 2 digests in one day.
But my take on the Archaic Saying is that the "M" sound of muddy is
intended (working toward "mother") -- just a little surprised that we
are talking about "pitch" instead of "fish" as that would seem to supply
the invective not suitable for the ears of Gentle Spiders or mouths of
staunch Presbyterians.
Another way was to
reverse (or almost) syllables; "matko boska!" (oh, Mother of God!),
became "batko moska".
