15. I think it's the way the character is speaking

I mean, it's pretty obvious to me that "shtrippers" is a slurred drunken version of "strippers" but if I squint real hard and tilt my head just so I can see how somebody who's really looking to be outraged could parse it as a "Jewish"/Yiddish-accented version.
