I used to think the same but it is hucklebearer. The handles on a casket are called huckles and a hucklebearer is what they called a pallbearer back in the day. In the old days saying you were someone's hucklebearer was what you said to someone if you wanted them to know you were going to kill them.

But he says Huckleberry in the movie. Supposedly a popular saying in the 1870. I think Mark Twain even used it in a book.

I see how hucklebearer makes sense in the way he uses it with Ringo.
